House Ag Committee seeks EPA explanation

House Agriculture Committee leaders have asked EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy why the EPA took down its reports on glyphosate and atrazine from its website. The glyphosate report said the chemical does not cause cancer.

A letter signed by Committee Chairman Michael Conaway, ranking chair Collin Peterson and subcommittee chair Rodney Davis of Illinois asks for an explanation for the glyphosate report being posted and removed days later from public view. It also asks when the EPA will issue a final report on glyphosate.

Earlier this month, the House Science Committee ask for similar information from EPA.
