"Senator Blumenthal was very specific, showing one example of where a million dollars can save $20 million-plus."

"An investment of less than a million dollars would ensure a saving of $25 million in avoided recovery costs."

"Your job--and it is uniquely and always the job of the Federal Government to establish standards that protect the public health and safety where there is a national impact."
