Congress gives relief to boaters

The Capital, by PAMELA WOOD

Much to the relief of recreational boaters, Congress passed a bill yesterday exempting them from new pollution standards intended for large, ocean-going vessels.

The Environmental Protection Agency was set to require more pollution controls later this year on all boats as the result of a court order. But boating advocates launched a coordinated effort to exclude small boats, arguing that the little guy was being caught up in onerous rules meant for the big guys.
