from coal-burning power

rain blamed for killing lakes
and fish in the northeastern
United States and eastern
Canada

form of sulfuric add, falling
to earth in rain, snow or dry
particles
But the coal and electric

disputed that finding, saying

lawmakers, they have block-

WASHINGTON (AP) - A
new study that directly links

say.
The chairman of the Senate

said the study released
Wednesday "sweeps aside

reservation" on the issue. He
said he hopes for congres-

But William D.
Ruckelshaus, head of the En-

Agency, said scientific
understanding of acid rain
doesn't necessarily mean
that controls can be im-
mediately imposed.
"Understanding the nature
of the problem and deciding
what to do about it are two
different things," he said.
"Precisely what you do
about it involves a very great
mix of complicated problems
and people and interests, and
we have to sort through these
in deciding what the public in-
terest dictates." Ruckelshaus
