GOP-Led Congress Achieves Historic Regulatory
Reform of Broken Environmental Law
U.S. Senator Shelley Moore
Capito (R-W.Va.) teamed up with
her colleagues to write an op-ed in
the Washington Examiner today
i regarding the historic passage of
the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical
Safety for the 21st Century Act.

guidance of what chemicals can be
used in their products.
'~he Lautenberg Act is the
common-sense, conservative
solution, creating unified
protections for American families
and American businesses while
providing new safeguards and

.... This common-sense, conservative
" solution provides updates for the
~• Toxic Substance ControlAct of 1976 oversight requirements.

"~ the president'sdeskinf0rty-years, the oversight that the Senate
Environment and Public Works
(EPW) Committee is regularly
conducting over the Clean Air Act
and Clean Water Act and addressed
problems we see in these laws in
order to make TSCA a smarter,
more conservative regulatory agent
that won the support of all principal
stakeholders.
"As a result, the Lautenberg
Act will require that the EPA's
regulatory decisions be based on the
best available science and require
the agency to show their work to
the public and Congress.
"No longer can chemical
regulations that are the result of
cherry-picked data justifying a
politically motivated regulatory
outcome be forced on job creators at
the state or federal level.
Instead, the EPA will need to
justify its decisions by a substantial
evidence standard and by using
transparent scientific information
while also taking into account
costs when proposing any potential
regulation.
"We also looked to the
Constitution for guidance to
address the unworkable and
insufficiently protective regulatory
patchwork under the current law.
Because current law has resulted
in only a very limited preemption
of chemical regulations, it has
empowered a couple larger, liberal
states to impose its regulations on
the rest of the nation.
"As' a result, job creators
have been faced with a decision:
*: President Obama will sign the
i :~ bill into law this morning, and
" Senator Capito will attend the bill

Rounds (R-S.D.)
"Regulatory reform has been
a widely discussed solution in
Washington to cut bureaucratic
red tape and boost our economy.
In a Republican-led Congress, we
achieved it.
"After years of hard work and
negotiations, the passage of the
Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical
Safety for the 21st Century Act
- marks the first time in more
than a quarter of a century that
Congress has sent reform of a
major environmental law to the
president's desk.
"Over the last 40 years, American
families have been exposed to
untested chemicals on a daily
basis due to the shortcomings of
the well-intended but broken Toxic
Substance Control Act (TSCA).
Job creators and manufacturers
Either embark on a costly venture
to create new manufacturing
facilities and distribution channels
to get reformulated produces into
different' states in order to meet
inconsistent standards or forcefully
adhere to the most strict, often~
unreasonable and frequently non-
protective standard of the largestII
state.
"We addressed the state '
preemption issue by instead giving
all states a voice in the regulatory
process while also providing
industry with a consistent, reliable
standard for regulating chemicals
and protecting our citizens.
'Tqe sought to balance states'
rights and recognize efforts states
have already taken in the absence
of a functioning federal program
while continuing to support and"
protect interstate commerce.
"Congress can responsibly
update environmental laws and do
it in a way that is consistent with
conservative principles.
With the Lautenberg Act, the
law can once again work to protect
public health while also supporting
our economy, which includes the
$800 billion chemical industry
that impacts more than seven
million related American jobs and
is the catalyst for almost all U.S.
manufacturing.
"The Lautenberg Act is proof that
the Republican majority is working
for Americans and is accomplishing
things that have been impossible to
achieve for decades."

Dry Mouth
'(NAPS)--While dry mouth is a
common condition that may result
from a variety of factors such as
smoking, aging, medication, dis-
ease, dehydration, and emotional
stress, you don't have to put up
with it.
The Problem
Common symptoms include an
overall dryness sensation in the
mouth, lips, throat, eyes and skin.
Bad breath, tooth decay, sticky
Many people are relieved to dis-

mouth that they can stick with.
saliva and sensitivity to spicy
foods can also occur.
Treatments
Typically, the most common
self-help strategies for dry mouth
that are thought to be helpful are
lip coating with Vaseline or balms,
eliminating caffeine and alcohol i
consumption, humidifying the
bedroom, and adding water to
food. However, there's no scientific
support of the effectiveness of
these strategies.
A recent independent study
revealed that the oral adhering
discs, patches and melts are rated
by dentists as the most effective
treatment for dry mouth.
In fact, OraCoat XyliMelts• oral
adhering discs were rated as more
effective than any other dry mouth
remedy, including prescription
drugs, by an independent study of
1,168 dentists, and are the only
product that has been assessed in
clinical studies for treatment of
dry mouth during sleep.
Where To Go
The discs are available at CVS
and Rite Aid pharmacies and at

exemplary or showed improvement. Writing is an essential skill that,
can benefit students for the rest of their lives. Introducing and practicingI
writing with engaging activities in elementary school, can foster
confidence and a lifelong love of writing. Immediately, writing skills are
important for elementary students' continued learning in all academic
areas, communication and self-expression but can additionally improve
penmanship. Writing exercises in elementary school support
development of critical thinking and problemsolving skills. Students
also learn the writing process, from outline to finished product, which
translates, into other aspects of life and learning. Pictured left to right:

Another day of cleanup and
help in Alderson has resulted in
much progress. "Power is on to
most residents and most of the rest
should be restored this evening.
Basements have been pumped,
propane tanks secured, and other

that turning on the power will be
safe. There have been no incidents
associated with the restoration of
power. '
The outpouring of support by
people all over West Virginia,

amazing.

recognition today for becoming the
first state in the nation to enroll all
441 public elementary school in Let's
Move! Active Schools (LMAS).
LMAS is the national initiative,
spearheaded by First Lady Michelle

a resource to equip teachers with
easy ways of integrating more
physical activity before, during and
after the school day.

Alliance for a Healthier Generation,

Superintendent of Schools, Dr.
Michael Martirano and State Board
