Cut a program that provided prescription contraceptive coverage to federal employees (though it still pays for Viagra). 23. Cut $700 million in capital funds for repairs in public housing. 24. Appointed Otto Reich, an un-indicted high level Iran Contra figure, as Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs. 25. Cut Environmental Protection Agency budget by $500 million. 26. Proposed to curtail the ability of groups to sue in order to get an animal placed on the Endangered Species List. 27. Rescinded rule that mandated increased energy-saving efficiency regulations for central air conditioners and heat pumps. 28. Repealed workplace ergonomic rules designed to improve worker health and safety. This partial list sent by a friend. Draw your own conclusions. Newton
