FRIDAY, MAY 10, 2002 John Graham is the head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and a White House official with great influence. His office can tell agencies to review or revise federal regulations, a debate that is largely centering on cost and the nebulous concept of "sound science." The industry says this helps ensure that rules are fair while critics charge it leads to lax enforcement of health, safety and environmental laws. The office is currently seeking public comment on a full overhaul of the regulatory process. Comments are due on a draft report later this month. Get the Story:
