"We were concerned with the plants located in dirty air environments and the most hazardous waste sites," he said. "And I still think those are the places where you must start."
Horton said he did not know whether any federal clean-up money had been used to help Republican gubernatorial candidates and incumbents, which allegedly occurred in California. But he said it could have happened without his knowledge.
THE ACCUSATION that thy EPA had allowed
Horton said he had been in charge of a $150 million budget and 1,000 employees.

Dow Chemical Corp. to rewrite a report is not true, he said. One of Dow's regional offices had leaked a preliminary EPA report, but a final one was shown to the company by an EPA staff member.
"In the final 27-page report, only six lines had been changed," Horton said. "And there is no truth to the accusation that Dow's name was removed from the report."
"The investigation just isn't that important," he said.
HORTON SAID that although an investigation of him by the EPA inspector general and the FBI was ongoing, he did not.
At a House subcommittee hearing last week, Hernandez was accused by an official of the EPA's Chicago regional office of allowing the Dow Chemical Co. to suggest changes in a 1981 staff report blaming the company for dioxin contamination in two rivers near its Midland, Mich., plant. Dow was not mentioned in the final report.
TODHUNTER, assistant administrator for pesticides and toxic substances, also was drawn into the controversy for allegedly pressuring two scientists to make similar changes.
Hernandez and Toddhunter could not be reached for comment last night.
Cahill's handling of the Office of Federal Activities, which reviews environmental impact statements for proposed actions by other federal agencies, will be reviewed by the inspector general's office of the EPA.
SOME SOURCES said that while Perry would
be asked to resign as general counsel, be might stay at the agency during the transition period.
The shakeup at EPA, which is being investigated by six congressional panels, began with the announcement on Feb. 4 that Rita Lavele, former head of the agency's toxic waste cleanup unit, had resigned to return to California.
THREE DAYS later, it was disclosed that Burford actually ordered Lavelle to resign. When she refused, Reagan fired her and four of her aides, fueling a series of investigations about alleged political tampering with the agency's efforts to cleanup for cleanup of the nation's worst toxic waste sites.
The scandal dated to a clash with two House subcommittees last fall over Burford's refusal — on Reagan's order — to release enforcement documents. The scandal eventually was cited for contempt of Congress.

"These people are really great. I was pretty shook up when I called, but the nurse really calmed me down. She just told me what I should do and said that this type of thing happens all the time."
"I was kind of feeling that I was a bad parent or something, and she said I would just have to
Janet Nowalk also used the center when her son Nathan sprayed stain remover into his mouth.
NOWALK HAD left her clothes basket with a aerosol bottle of the stain remover sitting on the floor of her kitchen. She had just finished vacuuming and noticed that Nathan was wet something wet on his mouth.
"I asked him what he did," she said, "and he wouldn't tell me. I kept after him, and he finally
"I immediately called the poison center." As it turned out, Nathan had not swallowed any of the cleaner, but if he had, the center would have been there.
"I immediately called the poison center."
Nowalk said someone from the center called back twice to check on Nathan.
"It's really good to know that these people are there when you need them," she said.
Snodgrass said that the results of a national study in January had indicated that poison centers, such as the one at the Med Center, were the most likely to provide information than emergency rooms, he said.

Reagan

"Wait for the other two shoes to drop, and it will all come together," one source said of the three-nart initiative.
The officials denied the presidential decision was a response "to the politics of the freeze movement." One echoed Reagan in saying it was geared "to free ourselves from the nuclear arsenal. That condition cannot be tolerated and we need to find a way out of it."
The sources said the research and development would be concentrated on a beamweapon system that would be able to detect and then hit Soviet missiles "before they leave the atmosphere."
THEY SAID that development of the weapon could take 15 to 20 years, depending on how much is spent on it, although they said that there were some among the scientific community who thought such a system was "right over the horizon."
Rape

or the lack thereof.
people who had previously consented to a sexual relationship. Those cases have been successfully prosecuted in the past, he said.
State Rep. Wanda Fuller, R-Wichita, who testified in favor of eliminating spousal protection in both the House and the Senate committees, said she and other supporters of the amended bill would begin talking to senators about their position.
But Gaar said, "I would guess there are at least 30 votes in the Senate for it."
"We've got our work out cut for us," she said. We don't know if the votes are in the room.
There are a few cases in the same Senate.
THE HOUSE added partial spousal protection to the bill after a House committee had eliminated it.
Fuller said, "I really feel a couple of committee members compromised too soon. We never really pushed. The opposition was just a little louder."
THE COMMITTEE also broadened the House definition of rape involving an "object" to include objects such as fingers and bottles.
- Eliminate the need to prove resistance to rape in order to obtain conviction.
The committee did not change the bill's provisions that would:
*Create the offenses of sexual battery, which would be a misdemeanor, and aggrivated sexual battery, which would be a felony, to cover sex-related crimes that are not rape.
- Allow charges of rape to be made against women as well as men.
$\bullet$ Apply the rape shield statute, which makes a rape victim's previous sexual conduct inadmissible as evidence in court, to other sex-related cases.
