News release, July 11, 2008 [thanks to Jennifer Eckel]: “American Federation of Government Employees National Council of EPA Local #238 President Charles Orzehoskie today announced that AFGE Council 238 has reached agreement with EPA to reopen its libraries… Orzehoskie went on to note that this agreement must still go through. “Agency Head Review” pursuant to the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute, and may not be effective until on or about August 10, 2008…Orzehoskie and Roy point out that the MOA could only get to a reasonable level of detail in committing the Agency to provide EPA libraries with “adequate space and resources”. Therefore, AFGE Council 238 has asked Congress to oversee the adequateness of “…space and resources…” proposed by the Agency for each reopened library…EPA received $1,000,000 in the Department of Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2008. These monies were to be spent “…to restore the network of EPA libraries recently closed or consolidated by the Administration….” Orzehoskie stated that it remains unclear to the Council just how EPA has allocated these monies to restore the EPA Library Network, but he is sure that Congress will require an accounting of the monies…”
