    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: This statement was part of a White House press release announcing
    the signing of Executive Order 12856.
