Share this

John Graham, who has been nominated by President Bush to the top regulatory oversight position in the United States, is an an industry ally who has a long record of crusading against health, safety and environmental standards through the industry-funded Harvard Center for Risk Assessment. Public Citizen recently authored a 130-page report (available as a free PDF download) exposing his decade of efforts on behalf of the corporations that fund him. Putting him in charge of overseeing the regulatory agencies responsible for protecting the public "would truly be a case of the fox guarding the hen-house."
