????????????????? A fairly large list of Ronald Ray Gun's mis-statements ( lies, fables, fantasies ) is contained in the book entitled "Ronald Reagan's Reign of Error" by Mark Green and Gail MacColl (published by Pantheon). The book is 125 pages long and even has blank pages in the back for readers to write in their own favorite falsehoods. The statement about trees causing 80% of pollution is found on p. 99 and reads: "Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so lets not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources." Sierra 9/10/80 Later, in explanation, he said: "I know Teddy Kennedy had fun at the Democratic Convention when he said that I had said that trees and vegetation cause 80% of the air pollution in this country. Well he was a little wrong about what I said. First of all, I didn't say 80%, I said 92%, 93%, pardon me. And I didn't say air pollution, I said oxides of nitrogen. And I am right. Growing and decaying vegetation in this land are responsible for 93% of the oxides of nitrogen" L.A. Times 10/9/80 bonnie!jmm J. M. McGhee
