I was distressed to see the Administration wait so long to release your report on Children and Environmental Risks.
If you read current law and you follow it, which your Administration hasn't done and doesn't seem to want to do, if you follow the letter of current law, you are going to see a 90 percent decrease in mercury.
I totally disagree with your statement that your so-called Clear Skies Initiative is going to get rid of more mercury than current law.
We have wasted precious time. There are women who have no idea, who are of child-bearing age, pregnant now, eating too much of this fish and getting too much mercury.
