I am confident that this committee can come together to improve our chemical laws while allowing the U.S. chemical industry to continue to lead the world.

I am committed to moving TSCA reform legislation in this Congress.

Let me be clear: the status quo is not acceptable.

My colleague Senator Inhofe has been very helpful in fostering a meaningful dialog with the chemical industry and our friends in the other party.

The public also has a right to know what's in their water.

My bill would fix this problem by allowing EPA to require a targeted increase in monitoring for unregulated pollutants that could be hazardous.

For these reasons, I have asked the President to include water in his 6-year plan for infrastructure investment.

Say that again. How many?

OK. Thanks.

Let me just ask you this. Stop right there. I want to go back to my second question. Is your office able to handle what I understand to be an increasing claims load demand? Are you able to handle it?

Sometimes I think you almost need the wisdom of Solomon to be able to do this fair and square.
