Yes. Nixon proposed the EPA, and it began operations on December 2, 1970.
The function of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is to write and enforce laws to protect the environment and people. The EPA was started when President Richard Nixon was in office.
This act was signed by President Lyndon Johnson. The House version was passed while Kennedy was president but Johnson was the president by the time it was passed by the Senate and became law.
