I'm Charles Gibson. Sitting along with someone who has earned her stripes. JOAN LUNDEN (ANCHOR): I dressed up because you're back. Hi, I'm Joan Lunden. It is Thursday, July 22. And we actually have some good news. There is water again in Des Moines, not drinking water. That's probably weeks away but running water in the city mains to fire hydrants and downtown buildings to feed the fire sprinkler systems. Individual neighborhoods are expecting to come on line later today. MORTON DEAN (REPORTER): The federal government is setting off a secondhand smoke alarm and we get more on that from ABC's Bettina Gregory in Washington. BETTINA GREGORY (REPORTER): The Environmental Protection Agency urged parents not to smoke in their homes and said children and nonsmokers should be protected from smoke in public places and on the job. CAROL BROWNER (EPA ADMINISTRATOR): In summary, Mr. Chairman, E. P. A. believes that exposure to environmental tobacco smoke provides sufficient risk to recommend preventing involuntary exposure in all indoor environments. GREGORY: But the attacks on the E.P.A.'s report on ~ environmental tobacco smoke, or E.T.S., Continue. N REPRESENTATIVE THOMAS BILLEY (R.VIRGINIA): In its W consideration of E.T.S. the agency has deliberately abused and ~ manipulated the scientific data in order to reach a predetermined ~ politically motivated result. ~ ~ ~ whds ituddo TV R.pau «d.a.«: lo esww. lh. oeewoey af rnarnial =*pi.d by il, M ooira 6e e..pona6l. tor mi.loloa a. meiniwn.

i REPRESENTATIVE HENRY WAXMAN (D CALIFORNIA): There is a clear Yonsensus among those with no financial interest at stake that environmental tobacco smoke causes a broad array of serious adverse health effects. GREGORY: The E.P.A. estimates up to one million children suffer asthmatic attacks because of E.T.S. MICHELLE WOODWARD (AGE 9): Some problems that I start having when I am around smoke is I get dizzy, I start to sneeze, I can't breathe very well, and sometimes, I get headaches. GREGORY: So the federal government is moving ahead with initiatives to ban smoking in public places, despite the lawsuit from the tobacco industry which attacks the E.P.A.'S conclusion that secondhand, or environmental tobacco smoke causes cancer.
