Federal Regul High Cost Pro What was the nation's fastest growing industry? It isn't a consumer product, or energy or high technology. It is federal regulation. Annually, federal regulations cost the American people $106 billion, a sum equal to $450 for every man, woman and child in the United States. I here is a widespread agreement that cer tain regulatory controls are necessary. But too much regulation can be extremely damaging. Regulation contributes to inflation. When the government requires business and industry to spend money in ways that increase production costs without improving productivity, the price to the consumer goes up. Federal, state and local regulations add about $2,000 to the cost of the average new home. Federal environmental and safety regulations add an average of $666 to the price of automobiles, for a total bill to consumers of $7 billion. Regulations hurt productivity From 1948 to 1967, American productivity gains averaged only 1.6 per cent per year. We can begin to control the regulatory nrnrocc Kw anrvlmnn ? ?kk'y'"e sum*: cummun sense ideas. Sunset legislation requiring Congress to review all spending programs periodically would help.

He also has been chosen chairman of the Rush Committee for the Rush season next fall. ations gram without distorting the original purpose. Legislation requiring that agencies state specific objectives for all major regulatory proposals would help everyone evaluate the costs against proposed benefits to ensure that we are getting our money's worth. A congressional or legislative veto would give Congress authority to stop unnecessary regulations before they take effect. And an overall reform of rule-making procedures would require agencies to estimate the direct and indirect costs of regulatory proposals. Stronger judicial review of regulatory programs would let the courts serve as a check on agency decisions.
