We respectfully request that the Committee include $2 million for the CPSC to fully investigate and evaluate the defective drywall.
I want to see, first of all, why we have not had responsiveness from the EPA.
I can assure you they are going to be educated, by the time they get confirmed, about Chinese drywall.
Is it possible that the Chinese company would have recycled old gypsum board as part of the production process for this so-called new wallboard?
I would just strongly encourage our Federal and State folks to really work together and get to a good understanding of what we're dealing with here.
Three, possibly four, Chinese drywall specimens have been identified--Dragon, Tashon, and CNM--and they are associated with the Chinese National Building Materials Company.
If you find that there's something hazardous, and you come to that conclusion, do you recommend, then, to the board of the CPSC, that they take immediate action with regard to stopping importation of this material?
This is really an incredible amount of talent, and also, talent and dedication and courage and diligence.
