Nixon did create the EPA but Kennedy dreamed it up & used the President's Science Advisory Committee to report recommendations for the use and regulation of pesticides. The ball was already rolling when Nixon was steamrolled by it. President Nixon had set up a Cabinet-level Environmental Quality Council as well as a Citizens' Advisory Committee on Environmental Quality. His critics charged that these were largely ceremonial bodies, with almost no real power.
Stung by these charges, President Nixon appointed a White House committee in December 1969 to consider whether there should be a separate environmental agency. The President had already asked Litton founder, Roy L. Ash, to take a sweeping look at organizational problems throughout the government. It was at just this time that Congress sent to the President a remarkable bill known as the National Environmental Policy Act
