"Senators Reach Compromise On Chemical Safety Bill"

"The two leading senators working to reform the country’s 40-year-old toxic chemicals law say they’ve come to an initial agreement on how to move forward.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, and Sen. Barbara Boxer (Calif.), its top Democrat, said Friday that the main part of their negotiation is done.

“We have negotiated in good faith and are extremely pleased that we have reached an agreement on key sticking points of the [Toxic Substances Control Act] reform bill,” the two senators said."
