Mr. KLEE. Before I begin, Mr. Chairman, I would like to request that two reports that we've brought be added to the official record of this hearing. One is a summary of the Yorktown project that we conducted with EPA, and the second is a legal analysis of opportunities for flexibility and innovation under current Federal environmental laws. Mr. VALENTINE. Without objection, so ordered. [The reports follow:] House Committee on Science, Space and Technology Dear Mr. Chairman: Comments for the Public Record on National Initiatives in Green Technologies Stimulating Creativity. With reference to the Committee hearing on Green Technologies held on October 5, 1993, Amoco Corporation requests that the enclosed written statement be included in the hearing record. Amoco has recently completed a joint study with the EPA to evaluate pollution prevention opportunities at Amoco's Yorktown, Virginia refinery, which we believe provides insights for legislative and regulatory policy affecting environmental management and environmental technology innovation. Our statement highlights the findings of this study as it relates to specific concerns of stimulating innovative environmental strategies and technologies. Amoco and outside counsel also conducted a legal analysis of federal environmental laws to identify opportunities for innovation and flexibility. Summaries of both reports are attached to this statement. If there are questions or clarification about this written statement, please contact Karen St. John at (202) 857-5311 or Howard Klee at (312) 856-2320.
