The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
welcomes you to its Visitors Center in Wash-
ington, D. C.

The Center offers you an opportunity to:

    learn what  the  Federal  government,
    through EPA, is doing to protect and to
    restore the environment, and to

    discover how you—as an individual or as
    a member  of a  group-can join  in  the
    effort to clean up the  environment.
                                               EPA
         is a Federal regulatory
agency established  December 2,
1970. This action  brought to-
gether, for the first  time in a
single agency, the major environ-
mental control programs of the
Federal government.

EPA was  directed to mount an
integrated,  coordinated  attack
on environmental problems-air
and water pollution control,
management  of solid waste,
control of noise, and protection
against radiation and abuses  in
pesticide use.

EPA is responsible for establish-
ing and  enforcing standards
called for in the various pollution
control laws passed  by Congress
to carry  out  its authorities.

EPA cooperates with each of the
50 States to  identify  and solve
pollution problems. EPA works
through ten Regional  Offices and
is supported  by four  National
Environmental  Research Centers
and  nearly three dozen satellite
laboratories.

EPA's total role is expressed by
Administrator Russell  E. Train:
"EPA has a clear  mandate to
carry out the environmental
statutes enacted by Congress
In addition, I  believe that EPA
has a broader responsibility to
help define, articulate and give
leadership to the environmental
aspirations of our society."
