In our comments, CFS cites internal EPA memos that document EPA’s original finding that glyphosate is possibly carcinogenic, as well as Monsanto’s intense pressure on EPA that led the Agency to alter its findings. These memos and other documents we cite are available for download below under “Appendix Documents".
