Garth, now 59, first worked on the process in the 1950s, when he was president of Photon, Inc.

ENVIRONMENT. Many of the speakers from Government and industry insisted that some environmental laws should be amended to make them less tough on industry. Particular targets were the Clean Air Act of 1970 and the Senate version of an anti-strip-mining bill that is still before Congress. Laurence I.
