“Yes, this is exactly what the liability safeguard provision does. I repeat, the corn people to whom we have spoken really do not like this particularly. They are unhappy with it. But the oil companies are pushing for it. It seems to me, when you hear that Senator Durbin and Senator Dayton, from corn-growing places, support us, that is hopeful. But my friend is right. We are banning MTBE because it is harmful. We do not really know the end result of ethanol. And before we even know the end result, we are waiving liability. He is correct.”
