Under G.Bush Jr.'s proposed budget, the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency is slated to shut down its network of libraries 
that serve its own scientists as well as the public, according to 
internal agency documents released today by Public Employees for 
Environmental Responsibility (PEER). In addition to the 
libraries, the agency will pull the plug on its electronic 
catalog which tracks tens of thousands of unique documents and 
research studies that are available nowhere else."
