United Press International WASHINGTON — Rita Lavelle, fired head of the En vironmental Protection Agen cy’s toxic waste clean-up prog ram, told a House subcommittee Thursday she knows of nothing at the agency to cover up, and she was not a party to the deci sion to withhold subpoenaed EPA papers from Congress. “I know of nothing needful of cover-up,” Lavelle told the House public works subcommit tee on oversight and investiga tion, one of six House panels in vestigating the EPA’s “Super fund” cleanup program. Testifying under oath, L.avel- le said she agreed with a state ment by Rep. Robert Roe, D- N J., that the House should “not have to get into a hassle” with the administration to get the docu ments. “I agree with that position,” Lavelle said. “But the entire affair of how it was handled with Congress was taken out of my hands.” She said the decision to with hold the documents under a claim of executive privilege to protect investigative material originally was handled by EPA general counsel Robert Perry, EPA Administrator Anne Bur- ford, “and (the) Justice (Depart ment) was in there.” Lavelle also said more than two dozen investigators were hired to investigate if organized crime was involved in arty aspect of the cleanup of toxic waste dump sites. She said the investigation was not completed by the time she was fired. She reiterated statements made Wednesday to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee that she did not play political favorites in releasing toxic waste cleanup funds, and there is no evidence of any “sweetheart deal” for industries involved in cleanup operations. vL» vL* -si/* «sL* *sX* "Xf nIc? sL* •sLf *sL* nX* nL* ^X* *X* nX *X* nX nX nX nX nX Pjn Pjs. “T* "T* "T* *T' "T s •T* # T'* 'T* *T* 'T* ‘T* •T* •T* 'T* - T* *TV * Snow Ski Apparel * -k- * * * * * ■X - * * * * * * * Ski Rentals Bib and Ski Jacket $ 25 for a week rental ($5.00 Cleaning Fee) Resei*vc yours early for Spring Break.
