...Johnson sees federal regulation as the most effective immediate antidote for pollution. His bill would compel fuel producers to register all additives such as tetraethyllead- used to boost gasoline octane count- with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare so that their potentially noxious effects could be studied. HEW would be given authority to designate industries that contribute heavily to pollution, and in each case would determine the maximum tolerable level of deleterious materials that they could generate.

Both HEW Secretary John Gardner, who was head of the Carnegie Corporation when testing was first proposed, and Education Commissioner Harold Howe favor the program. So does the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which recently implied its support by deploring the fact that "there is little information to measure the quality...
