During the middle and late 1960s, public concern about the
environment grew rapidly, as did Congressional interest in
addressing environmental problems. Then, in 1970, a dramatic series
of bipartisan actions were taken to expand the national
government's efforts to control the volume and types of substances
that pollute the air, water, and land. In that year, President
Richard Nixon signed into law the National Environmental Policy
Act, which established for the first time a national policy on the
environment and created the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ).
Additionally, President Nixon created, with Congressional support,
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and he signed into law
the Clean Air Act of 1970, which had overwhelming bipartisan
support in Congress. The strong bipartisan consensus on the need to
protect environmental and human health began to erode, however,
during the middle and late 1970s as other domestic and foreign
policy problems rose to the top of the public and legislative
agendas. Ronald Reagan's election to the Presidency in 1980 marked
a dramatic shift in both environmental policymaking and
administration. Over the thirty years that followed Reagan's
election, environmental politics and administration became
increasingly polarized. In this book, James K. Conant and Peter J.
Balint examine the trajectory of environmental policy and
administration in the United States by looking at the development
of the CEQ and EPA. They look at changes in budgetary and staffing
resources over time as well as the role of quality of leadership as
key indicators of capacity and vitality. As well, they make
correlations between the agencies' fortunes and various social,
political, and economic variables. Conant and Balint cautiously
predict that both agencies are likely to survive over the next
twenty years, but that they will both experience continuing
volatility as their life histories unfold.
