From the New York Times:

According to estimates by the Environmental Protection Agency, as many as 3.5 million Americans, most of them in rural areas, would be affected by a decision to raise the arsenic standard from the level set by the Clinton administration to the maximum level being considered by Mr. Bush.

But some of the communities most affected by the debate have been the loudest critics of the Clinton rules, arguing that they would impose costs of many millions of dollars on impoverished local water authorities.

The measure, an amendment to $113 billion appropriations bill for the Veterans Administration, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and many other agencies, was approved by a vote of 218 to 189. Six Democrats joined 182 Republicans in voting against the measure, which was sponsored by Rep. David Bonior of Michigan, the Democratic whip. The two independents in the House split their votes.
