father, conservation giant <a href="https://www.hcn.org/issues/284/15040" target="_blank" title="">
<font color="#007cad"><span style="color:#007CAD;text-decoration:none">Stewart Udall</span></font></a>, when he agreed to broker a bipartisan bill to fix the country’s broken toxic chemicals law.
<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">That bill is now gaining momentum, a rare feat in the highly partisan climate in Washington.
Four Democrats joined all 11 Republicans in the Senate Environment committee this week to send the bill to the full Senate. The bill is designed to give the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency the authority to regulate and assess the safety of toxic chemicals,
such as asbestos, flame retardants and Bisphenol A, better known as BPA. It also gives industry some of what it wants, by limiting regulation of the same chemicals by states.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">The legislation won a key endorsement this week from EPA administrator Gina McCarthy. She told
Udall in a Senate hearing that she was “pleased” that shortcomings had been fixed. “I am encouraged that we’re moving forward with a bipartisan bill,” she said.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">“I believe he’s gotten a very raw deal by being characterized as carrying water for the chemical
industry,” said Richard Denison, senior scientist for the Environmental Defense Fund, one of the few environmental groups that support the bill. “He’s the reason the bill has gotten stronger and stronger.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">Udall’s plight reflects how emotional the battle over environmental laws has become in Washington
and how difficult it is to find common ground, even when everyone agrees a problem needs fixing. The emotion surrounding this bill is particularly piqued because it concerns the failure of the government to regulate toxic chemicals that Americans, even the
most vulnerable such as infants and the elderly, encounter every day.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">In the 40 years since the
<a href="http://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/summary-toxic-substances-control-act" target="_self" title="">
<font color="#007cad"><span style="color:#007CAD;text-decoration:none">Toxic Substances Control Act
</span></font></a>was passed, the EPA has only regulated five chemicals, and none since 1990, when it lost a court case to regulate asbestos.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">To fill the void, some states, California and Oregon among them, have started regulating chemicals,
but they have only managed to finish work on a handful.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">Through the years, Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-New Jersey, repeatedly offered bills to reform the
toxic chemical law, but they never got a vote on the Senate floor. Just days before Lautenberg died, in June 2013, he unveiled a bipartisan bill with Sen. David Vitter, R-Louisiana, one of the chemical industry’s biggest supporters in Congress. Lautenberg’s
widow and other senators are among those who asked Udall to take the lead on the bill.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">In deciding to do so, Udall thought about the work his father had done after he left his post
as Interior Secretary. He advocated for New Mexicans sickened by nuclear fallout and
<a href="http://www.hcn.org/issues/329/16521" target="_blank" title=""><font color="#007cad"><span style="color:#007CAD;text-decoration:none">Native Americans suffering from exposures</span></font></a> to uranium mining.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">“I worked with him, and it had a real impact on me,” Udall said in response to questions from
HCN. “New Mexicans in particular have a personal understanding of how substances in our environment can make you sick -- or kill.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">Udall says he’s also motivated by concerns he hears from constituents who worry about the chemicals
they’re exposed to in everyday life. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">“People are genuinely concerned about the tens of thousands of chemicals -- in our furniture,
baby bottles, clothes, and other everyday products -- that aren't being tested,” he said. “We don't know the impact they have on our health, or with each other, or with medicines we take.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">Many longtime Udall supporters don’t question his motivations, but the senator has taken some
low blows in recent months.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-California, has been the Udall-Vitter bill’s biggest opponent. “To be 100
percent candid and direct, their bill has been generated by the chemical industry itself,” Boxer said in a March news conference.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">She

one in the <i><span style="font-style:italic">New York Times</span></i>, highlighted donations Udall had received from the trade group.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">True, the American Chemical Council donated

Center for Responsive Politics.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">Udall commented on these personal attacks during a hearing on the bill in March. “They do not
concern me because they are absurd and unfounded,” he said “But they do a serious disservice to the legislative process.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt"><font size="4" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">He told HCN he took offense at suggestions that he was doing the chemical industry’s bidding

the EPA is examining it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
