Subject
Motor Vehicle Air Pollution Control and Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965
Description
This letter to Muskie from R. C. Brown, the Director of Research at Caterpillar Tractor Company in Peoria, Illinois, indicated that the air quality control provisions of S. 306 affected an array of economic interests. As the nation’s leading producer of diesel-powered equipment, Caterpillar favored state regulation over national, opposed specific emission standards written into law, and wanted a more lenient timeline for implementation.
