The Deregulation of Carcinogens
Article Abstract:
The population's health, both today and for the future of our generation, is at risk from cancer. Involuntary cancer risks can be pinpointed and thus eliminated. The Reagan Administration has chosen to rescind many regulations which would prevent cancer. The Administration has also withheld consumer information and cut funding for research on cancer. The three government agencies where deregulations are most evident are the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the Food and Drug Administration. Effects of the deregulations have impacted three major areas: a standstill on the development of exposure standards for carcinogens, information restrictions, and attacks on scientific assumptions for cancer regulation. Government policy on carcinogens will be in effect even after the Reagan Administration is over.

Banking deregulation in Indonesia
Article Abstract:
Indonesian's private banks, freed by the government's deregulation, are likely to become the industry leaders, since they are more thoroughly modernized than the state banks. The state Bank Indonesia is asking private institutions to take over failing banks as part of stabilizing the industry, which had been rocked by the 1992 Bank Summa liquidation and scandals involving the Development Bank of Indonesia. Indonesian government began deregulating the country's banks beginning in 1983, part of a general trend in Southeast Asia towards bank liberalization. Both private and state banks will have to find ways to handle Indonesia's many nonperforming loans.
