Correct answer: Creating the Environmental Protection Agency
Explanation/detail:
Based on answer choices I've seen elsewhere, the other options were foreign policy initiatives -- the formal recognition of China and Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT). There was also a decoy answer about reducing interest rates, but that wasn't a successful policy initiative on Nixon's part. During the Nixon presidency, the Federal Reserve chairman, Arthur Burns, had begun raising interest rates. In 1971, President Nixon exerted pressure on Burns and "the Fed" to keep interest rates down, but that only led to a decade of high inflation that caused other economic problems. So that was not a success for Nixon.
<u>About the Environmental Protection Agency</u>
President Nixon signed an executive order establishing the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970. Subsequent committee hearings in the House of Representatives and the Senate ratified Nixon's order for the creation of the agency.
Environmental issues had been gaining much attention during the 1960s, and the need for oversight became clear. As Lily Rothman reported in a TIME magazine article:
- <em>An oil spill off the California coast in 1969 coated 400 square miles with slime and killed hundreds of birds. Scientists announced that auto exhaust was at high enough levels in some places that it could cause birth defects. The city of St. Louis smelled, as one resident put it, “like an old-fashioned drugstore on fire.”</em>

<span>The workers of the agricultural sector had different reactions to the industrial revolution that agriculture had as part of the new technological and agrarian contributions that were developed in the 19th century. A part of the farmers was uncomfortable with new changes and adaptation of new trends and methods of work because they knew their old methods well and were comfortable with them. Other farmers were happy and satisfied with the new technologies for agriculture and acquired new knowledge and training to develop agriculture. There was a debate between both ideas and opinions by the workers.</span>
