| 102-hres-547 | 102 | hres | 547 | Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that a Presidential commission should be established to investigate whether there has been any measurable depletion of stratospheric ozone beyond that caused by natural phenomena, whether it has been proven that the use of chloroflourocarbons damages stratospheric ozone, and whether the phaseout of chloroflourocarbons will have any effect on stratospheric ozone. | Environmental Protection | 1992-08-06 | 1992-10-15 | Referred to the Subcommittee on Health and the Environment. | House | Rep. Dannemeyer, William E. [R-CA-39] | CA | R | D000044 | 8 | Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) a presidential commission should be established to investigate whether there has been any measurable depletion of stratospheric ozone beyond the seasonal variations caused by natural phenomena; (2) such commission should investigate whether it has been proven that the use of man-made chlorofluorocarbons damages stratospheric ozone and whether the phaseout of chlorofluorocarbons will have any effect on ozone levels in the stratosphere; and (3) the membership of the commission should be equally apportioned between representatives from the scientific community whose published research shows that chlorofluorocarbons have a negligible effect on ozone depletion and representatives whose research makes contrary claims. | 2024-02-07T15:21:41Z | |
| 102-hres-350 | 102 | hres | 350 | Urging the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to accelerate the scheduled phaseout of ozone-destroying substances in the United States as required pursuant to the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990; calling on the President to urge the Contracting Parties to the Montreal Protocol to modify the Protocol in order to accelerate the phaseout of such substances; and for other purposes based on scientific findings concerning the degradation of the stratospheric ozone layer. | Environmental Protection | 1992-02-05 | 1992-09-14 | Referred to the Subcommittee on Health and the Environment. | House | Rep. Unsoeld, Jolene [D-WA-3] | WA | D | U000017 | 85 | Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency should accelerate the interim phaseout schedules and the final phaseout date of chlorofluorocarbons, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform, and halons (and shall provide for complete phaseout as early as possible), accelerate the interim phaseout schedule and the final phaseout date of the hydrochlorofluorocarbons that have relatively long atmospheric lifetimes or high ozone depletion potentials, and prioritize efforts to issue regulations providing for the recapture and recycling of ozone-destroying substances used in appliances and motor vehicle air-conditioners and for the elimination of such substances used in nonessential consumer products; and (2) the President should urge the Contracting Parties to the Montreal Protocol to accelerate the interim phaseout schedules and the final phaseout date of the ozone-destroying chemicals currently covered by the Protocol, to include hydrochlorofluorocarbons within the terms of the Protocol and provide for the most rapid phaseout of those hydrochlorofluorocarbons with relatively long atmospheric lifetimes or high ozone depletion potentials, to amend the Protocol to include recapture and recycling provisions and prohibit the venting or release of ozone-destroying chemicals from refrigeration and air-conditioning units into the atmosphere by a set date, and to accelerate the compliance of developing countries with the terms of the Protocol. | 2024-02-07T11:38:03Z | |
| 102-hres-153 | 102 | hres | 153 | Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the establishment of the National Institutes for the Environment. | Environmental Protection | 1991-05-15 | 1991-05-31 | Referred to the Subcommittee on Environment. | House | Rep. Saxton, Jim [R-NJ-13] | NJ | R | S000097 | 43 | Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the National Institutes for the Environment should be established to: (1) provide a coordinated, nationwide program for establishing comprehensive environmental research priorities; and (2) support competitively awarded environmental research and training aimed at preventing and solving environmental problems. | 2024-02-07T15:21:41Z | |
| 102-hres-134 | 102 | hres | 134 | Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States implement promptly the recommendations the National Academy of Sciences issued in its report "Policy Implications of Greenhouse Warming". | Environmental Protection | 1991-04-24 | 1992-10-08 | For Further Action See H.R.776. | House | Rep. Sharp, Philip R. [D-IN-2] | IN | D | S000294 | 36 | Declares that it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States implement the recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences in its report "Policy Implications of Greenhouse Warming." | 2025-01-15T18:51:50Z | |
| 102-hres-130 | 102 | hres | 130 | Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the United States policy on carbon dioxide emissions. | Environmental Protection | 1991-04-23 | 1991-05-09 | Referred to the Subcommittee on Energy and Power. | House | Rep. Lowey, Nita M. [D-NY-20] | NY | D | L000480 | 64 | Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that it should be U.S. policy to reduce national emissions of carbon dioxide in the next ten years by 20 percent from the 1988 baseline level and to assume a leadership position in negotiating an international climate protection treaty that includes establishing: (1) agreements by industrialized nations to reduce their current carbon dioxide emissions by 20 percent over 1988 levels in the next ten years, by developing nations to reduce their growth in carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion, and by all countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases; (2) an international fund and other financial mechanisms to help developing countries achieve such objectives; (3) mechanisms for continuing international cooperation for the development of policies for future emissions reductions; and (4) commitments to cease the destruction of primary forests. | 2025-01-15T18:51:50Z | |
| 102-hres-120 | 102 | hres | 120 | Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the United States policy on carbon dioxide emissions. | Environmental Protection | 1991-04-10 | 1991-04-23 | Referred to the Subcommittee on Energy and Power. | House | Rep. Lowey, Nita M. [D-NY-20] | NY | D | L000480 | 0 | Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that it should be U.S. policy to reduce national emissions of carbon dioxide in the next ten years by 20 percent from the 1990 baseline level and to assume a leadership position in negotiating an international climate protection treaty that includes establishing: (1) agreements by industrialized nations to reduce their current carbon dioxide emissions by 20 percent in the next ten years, by developing nations to reduce their growth in carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion, and by all countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases; (2) an international fund to help developing countries achieve such objectives; and (3) a mechanism for continuing international cooperation for the development of policies for future emissions reductions. | 2025-01-15T18:51:50Z |
