On the recordJuly 22, 1998
Having suffered through the other side of the State and having seen the problems associated with that, I worry a little bit, I must say to my friend from Spokane, who I have worked with, and my friend from the Tri-Cities, who I have worked with, two of my colleagues, that the idea that you can just do this without some kind of a comprehensive strategy leaves you vulnerable to the lawsuit by the environmental action groups that you enjoin. They take the scientist in there and they put him under oath.
