Abstract:

America wants and deserves clean air. If vehicles are polluting the atmosphere less than originally had been assumed, then regulators must focus less on mobile sources. If the cost of regulating mobile source pollution is imposing unreasonable burdens on the economy, then the Reagan Administration and Congress must find a fairer way of controlling pollution. What is needed, clearly, is reform of clean air regulations and procedures.
