The Federal Committee on Pest Control was created by the Department of Agriculture, Interior, Defense, and Health, Education, and Welfare in 1961. There was no statutory authority or Executive Order for its existence. The Committee was originally called the Federal Pest Control Review Board. The Committee reviewed plans for and maintained review of pest control programs in which there was active participation on the part of the Federal Government. The Committee was to coordinate all Federal pest control activities to see that the total public interest was served in terms of safety and effectiveness.
The records consist of correspondence, memorandums, reports, and press releases. Primary correspondents include Bill Hopkins, Ken Cole, and Jim Frey. Topics include description of the Committee's activities, its background and charter, and the Environmental Quality Council.
