H.R.672 - Federal Government
To amend title 10, United States Code, to require the Department of Defense and all other defense-related agencies of the United States to fully comply with Federal and State environmental laws, including certain laws relating to public health and worker safety, that are designed to protect the environment and the health and safety of the public, particularly those persons most vulnerable to the hazards incident to military operations and installations, such as children, members of the Armed Forces, civilian employees, and persons living in the vicinity of military operations and installations. |

I live near an old military base that has contaminated the river and polluted the groundwater. Some families have had their wells contaminanted with explosives and solvents. I think this legislation is very important because it will help make sure that the same thing doesn't happen to other communities. These chemicals cause cancer and other serious health problems. I think it could help a lot of people and the environment. I think it will also protect our soldiers and other people that work for the military.
