Lar..Y Brickles Factories have history of dodging EPA: By JICk Anderaon and Jan Mollar In early 1990, an employee of the Environmental Protection Agency was backpacking, fishing and enjoying the great outdoors, when his view was marred by a large factory. It was his job to monitor such factories for thetr compliance with air-pollution laws, but he'd never even heard of thts parltcular factory. Naturally, he was a bit surprised·· and more than a little curious. ' When he started asking around, he dtscovered something even more surpnsing: EPA employees tn other regtons were "discovering" stmtlar factones that the agency hadn't known extsted That same year, Congress was tightemng a relatively obscure but vastly important part of the Clean Air Act. The law stipulates that companies operate under a marketbased permit system tn which pollution is treated ltke a commodity. Different regions are g1ven a specific amount of pollution "credit," and. companies are free to buy and sell ~e credits within the regton. It's suPP,Psed to create an incenltve for com~les to cut their pollutton levels, so hey can trade thetr credits to oth r, dtrtier firms Areas with ov II atr-pollulton levels that exceed federal standards are labeled non-attainment The EPA esttmates that 90 million Amencans live in non-attainment areas. The new measures were supposed to quadruple the number of permit applications, but that never happened -- and still hasn't. Even though the economy has grown at a robust rate-- meantng factortes are theoretically producing more pollution applications have rematned fairly stable at about 200 per year. When EPA officials began discovering these "phantom" plants, however, the mystery became a little clearer Pretty soon the EPA, along wilh the Department of Justice, launched an investigation. They found that many of the phantom plants were registered with state environmental protection agencies, but not as major pollutton sources. Because they weren't classified as "maJor sources" of pollution, they didn't have to apply for the federal permits. Under the law, the EPA must review all potential sources of major pollution bef0re a factory is butlt Power plants, refinenes and steel mills, for example, all have to undergo a revtew before the government lets them butld a factory But the law f81led to accounl for those compa- nies who've chosen 10 "play dumb" by not tellina: aulhorities when they expand their operations or modify their factories 10 produce more pollutants Other companies chronically underestimate their emissions in an effort to escape federal oversight Three of the erring corporations -- LouisianaPacific, Georgia-Pacific and Weyerhaeuser -agreed" to pay nearly $2S million in fines and install tens of millions of dollars worth of poilutton controls. All escaped criminal charges, arguing lhat they had unknowinaly violated tbe law. Somehow these companiea -packed to ll!e gills with Ph.D.-bearinr acientists and higb-pnced lawyers •• never understood that they had to tell the government when they put up a new smokestack. '.

Do you remember America's great radio manufacturers~ And do you recall when American television makers included such great names as RCA, Zemth, Sylvanta and Magnavox~ They remain but a ~adow of their former selves. Do you recall those compantes that fascinated tnvestors dunng the 1960s and 1970s- companies with hard Ks and Zs and Vs in their often unpronounceable, ultramodern names? And those with "tromcs" too?

Why we need a missile defense system By Jouph P•rklna India's ambassador to the Umted States was in San Otego earlier in the week, enJoying a resptle from Washmgton 's snowy weather. During a chat wtlh local scnbes, Naresh Chandra assured that the American people needn't fret lhat India ts actively developmg nuclear mtsstles. It was 10 months ago thai India caught the CIA and other U.S. mtelligence agenCies completely off guard by conducting nuclear tests. These tests flew in the face of a 1995 CIA assessment thai neither Jndta nor any country other than lhe five established nuclear powers would be able to develop ballisttc missiles capable of reaching the Umted States before 2010. And smce India's surpnse nuclear tests, the ayatollahs m Iran have tested a mtsstle capable of hilling Amencan troops m the Persian Gulf and the Commumsts in North Korea have ftred a missile lhat, With small tmprovements, could reach Alaska or Hawaii. Yet despite the growmg potential threat of a balhstic misstle strike against the United States-etther accidental, which presumably would be the case with lnd1a, or mtentional, possibly m the cases of Iran or North Korea-- there remains con· siderable opposttton in Congress to deployment of a national m1ssile defense syslem. Indeed, a debale only slightly less contentious than the recent impeachment proceedmgs ts looming in the Senate over legislation cospon· sored by Mississippi Republican Thad Cochran and Hawaii Democrat Dame!

Corporations seeking pollution permiti : from the states used an EPA fotm called AP-42 ~ · calculate emissions. The section on emissions for ' plywood dryers was based on a study by Wash· ington State Univei'Sity. But that section con; , tained a typo, which meant lhat anyone using th~ ' form would end up with an emissions estim~te roughly one-tenth what tl should have been, : There was a second provision in the pollutiol) ' rules thai corporations exploited. When compa; ' nics made "substantial modificatlons"to a facili. , ty, Congress reasoned, emissions would ri~ along with productivity • When Congress wrote lhe Act, they assumed ' that existing facilities would wear out in 20 to 2S ' "It is the policy of the United States to deploy as soon as is technologtcally posstble an effecttve National M1sstle Defense system capable of defending the lerritory of the United States agamst hmited ballistic mtsstle attack (whether accidental, unauthorized or deliberate)." Thts emmently reasonable propostlton has dnven Senate doves (and lhetr confederates in both lhe med1a and the public policy establishment~ shall we say, ballistic. For some reason, lhey just can't stand lhe idea lhat America's 260 million ctvilians should be secure from a future missile attack. Instead of acknowledging that they remain faithful to the anachronislic policy of "mutual assured destrucllon" --predicated on the idea that as long as nations have no defense against each other's nuclear mtsstles, they wtll nol attack each other -- they hide behind other arguments. One argument is that developing and deploymg a natiOnal mtsstle defense wtll be prohibitively expensive, costing somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion. However, a recent 77-page report by the Heritage Foundation, crafted by 14 respected defense analysts, concludes that a sea-based system capa· ble of protecltng U S. ctttes and shores from misSile attack would cost less lhan $8 btllion, while taking less than four years to deploy. Even if this sea-based misstle defense system costs twice as much to deploy, that hardly seems loo htgh a price to protect lhe American people from hostile m1ss1les launched by, say, Iraq or North Korea or, not entirely mconceivable, China. Then there's the argomenl that a missile defense system ts technologically tmpossible. And, indeed, many of the misstle defense test& conducted over the years have proven dtsappoinl: ing But Arnenca's development and deployment of the atomtc bomb a half-century ago was no les$ a technology challenge at the time. And ultimately this counlry 's besl and bnghtest minds made lhe seemingly impossible come to fruition. Perhaps lhe most disingenuous argumenl against national missile defense is that the biggest threatlo American civilians is lerrorism, an undetecled bomb planted in a building (like the World Trade Center). or nerve gas sprayed into a crowded subway (hke Tokyo) or highly toxic chemicals dumped into a munic1pal water supply (a futura · Oliver Stone movie?). These are legltima~~ threats to the U.S civilian population. And the' government ought to do everythmg possible to protect the public against such acts. But that does: n't mean lhat the Uniled Stales should ignore the future threat of nuclear missile attack. • As a growing number of nations unfriendly to the United Stales develop nuclear weapons, the posstb1hty increases exponenlially thai one day in the future a maniacal leader of one of these countries wtll be tempted to launch a missile at &II ; American ctly America can W8Jt unttl such a cat~ astrophe occurs before deploying a nalional missile defense. Or it can move full speed ahead to deploy, as Sens. Cochran and Inouye advocate, as soon as is technologically possible. · Copyrlghl1tt8 NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASIN, JOMph Perkin• 11 a columnlat for The San Diego Union·Tribuna. ~nday...Partly cloudy.

"By the grace of God, I just went down a stair· way and found a way to get out and let everybody know how to get out," she said. The train, bound from Oti~ago to New Orleans, careened off the tracks shortly after 9:30 p.m. Monday after it slammed into a semitrailer loaded with heavy steel bars at a crossing SO miles south of Chicago. The truck was leaving a nearby Birm· ingham Steel Co. facility. "The windows rattled," said Don O' Dell, who lives a block away from the scene and was watch· . ing TV when he heard the crash.

(AP) - The judge in Susan McDougal's trial ruled today that prosecutors may show 40 minutes of Hillary Rodham Ointon's previously secret videotaped grand jury testimony. Over the objections of Mrs. McDougal's lawyer, U.S. District Judge George Howard Jr. agreed with Kenneth Starr's piosec~tors that McDougal lawyer Mark Geragos had opened the door to showing Mr!i. Ointon's testimony. Geragos suggested Thursday in questioning FBI agent Mike Palkus that prosecutors had never both· • • I ,. • ered to ask questions of the first lady that the investigators now want Mrs. McDougal to answer about a disputed two-decade-old loan in.the name of Bi11 Ointon. Prosecutor Mark Barrett stressed that Mrs, Ginton's testimony is not being shown to prove the truth of what the first lady said, but simply to show that the prosecutors did ask her questions about a $27,600 loan in her husband 's ,name and ho'!' th e loan was paid off. Mrs, Ointon testified in a deposition in Washington on April 25, 1998, two days after Mrs. McDougal appeared before the Whitewater grand jury in Little Rock and refused to answer questions.: Mrs. Ointon's videotaped te5timony was shown to: the grand jury in Lihle Rock on April 29. .
