Statement by Press Secretary Fitzwater on Implementation of the Clean 
Air Act
October 19, 1992

    Today the Environmental Protection Agency is announcing that 41 more 
cities are attaining health standards for ground-level ozone (smog) and 
13 more cities are attaining health standards for carbon monoxide. With 
over 35 million Americans breathing more easily than in 1988, this is a 
great American success story.
    These improvements are due to a combination of cooler weather since 
1988 and the actions this administration has taken in the last 4 years, 
including reducing the volatility of gasoline and passage of the Clean 
Air Act. The Bush administration is committed to continuing to clean our 
air through the full implementation of the Clean Air Act.
