    Statement on the Executive Order on Federal Pollution Prevention
    August 4, 1993

        With this Executive order, the Federal facilities will set the
    example for the rest of the country and become the leader in applying
    pollution prevention to daily operations, purchasing decisions, and
    policies. In the process, Federal facilities will reduce toxic
    emissions, which helps avoid cleanup costs and promotes clean
    technologies.

    Note: The President's statement was included in a White House statement
    announcing the signing of the Executive order of August 3, which is
    listed in Appendix D at the end of this volume.
