Please read the excerpt from Gerald R. Ford's Statement on Signing the Safe Drinking Water Act. This Administration proposed a Safe Drinking Water Act, and several others were introduced by Members of

compromises had to be made before this bill reached my desk. Yet it is a strong bill, reflecting the combined
efforts of the Congress and the Administration.
