Entitled "Health Advisory for Presidential Trip," the document warned them about dread diseases, from dysentery to yellow fever, that they might encounter on the seven-day, 15,000-mile journey to four countries.

Every dollar devoted to EPA "enforcement" obliges U.S. business to invest many more dollars on nonproductive machinery, which then raises prices, reduces productive capital spending and retards hiring...
