Commentator John Chambers wants to highlight what he says is a rare occurrence in Washington: a genuine joint effort by the EPA, Congress, and the Clinton Administration to help clean up brownfields.

These blighted areas, which are often in inner cities, may now be cleaned up due to a major new initiative designed to bring brownfields back to life.
