The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has begun closing its nationwide
network of scientific libraries, effectively preventing EPA scientists and
the public from accessing vast amounts of data and information on issues
from toxicology to pollution. Several libraries have already been
dismantled, with their contents either destroyed or shipped to
repositories
where they are uncataloged and inaccessible.

Members of Congress have asked the EPA to cease and desist. While the
agency
claims that it has postponed further destruction of documents, we need you
to tell the EPA that scientists and the public need unconstrained
access to
this critical information to protect our health and environment.
Please call
EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson at (202) 564-4700 and urge him to
keep the
library system open until all materials are available online and
sufficient
research assistance is available.
