Dear Ann Landers,
am the mother of two small children. I have a job outside my home. All of this keeps me extremely busy. I have never had the time or felt a real desire to write to you before today. An outraged reader recently wrote to you about global warming and the so-called greenhouse effect. Please read the enclosed story from the San Bernardino Sun in California. "University researchers will strap gas-measuring equipment to cows to find out how bovine belching might be contributing to the green-house effect. Washington State University researchers will get $70,000 a year for three years from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to determine how much methane cows and other cud-chewing animals make when they belch." ThF Rtst of Ann Uniiers / I 5 *1 I never would have believed it if someone just told me about this. It sounds like some of the sensational garbage that you might see in a su-permarket tabloid. Ann, please tell me this isn't true. I hate to think our Environmental Protection Agency is throwing away money on such an absurd re-search project. If they would like some suggestions for their $70,000, I'd like to remind them of the homeless and hungry people in our country.
