What the document says

“EPA should not conduct any ongoing or planned activity for which there is not clear and current congressional authorization”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 422

The chapter asks for a tiered-down approach to cut costs, reduce full-time equivalent positions and eliminate duplicative programs, and says this shift should be communicated in the President's first budget request.

What the document actually says

“EPA should not conduct any ongoing or planned activity for which there is not clear and current congressional authorization”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 422
That sentence, in plain words

If Congress has not clearly approved a job, the EPA should not do it.

What this is about

Congress tells the EPA what work to do. The book says some work was never approved. It says that work should stop.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
