On the recordJanuary 25, 1996
As if nothing happened, and simply to say Well, it is OK to us, because it is done way out there in the middle of the Pacific, and somehow that will not affect us. The gentleman is absolutely correct, when that stuff goes up in the air or when it is in the water, it gets into the fish. We have fishing fleets out of my district, the whole Pacific fleet from the State of Washington goes out of my district. They go out and catch fish everywhere. What kind of fish do they catch? What concentration of these elements is in the liver of those fish or in the roe or whatever? And we are feeding it to people. When it comes in the air--we measured Strontium 90 in milk in Wisconsin when I was in medical school. That simply is a threat to our people, that we should be saying to them How dare you do that when you threaten us?
