I very much appreciate his involvement in this critical issue, a critical issue to us, those of us who focus on this problem in the Congress, but to the country as well. I agree that EPA has worked closely with us in developing the particulate matter research program outlined in H.R. 2158. They have pledged to fulfill the requirements in the statement of managers to the best of their ability. I expect them to exercise sound judgment in the distribution of funds and be prepared to reorient certain of their efforts upon completion of the NAS research plan.
