My colleague, Mr. Hudson, has led the committee's efforts to address GenX on behalf of his constituents in North Carolina. He has pressed EPA to complete its human health toxicity assessment on GenX using science. This amendment takes the next step to focus EPA on ways to keep people's drinking water safe under GenX. This is a prudent step to harness the technical expertise of the EPA to identify ways to reduce contamination of the substance, which will be useful in connection with EPA's other work and will aim to stop future problems like those in Cape Fear River. I applaud my colleague and friend for his work.
