The Good Soldier

You can't say that George Gray, EPA assistant administrator for R&D, doesn't know which side his bread is buttered. He testified yesterday that transparency is the watchword at EPA. Don't they hold closed meetings with the Office of Management and Budget about the risk of toxic chemicals? Oops, Gray has a different interpretation of transparency!

Gray also has a great deal of confidence in his scientific abilities. He advised the head of the EPA, Stephen Johnson, to reject 1,700 peer-reviewed studies and the unanimous recommendations of an advisory committee Johnson appointed with regard to setting new ozone standards.
