I am feeling more sympathy for OMB right now.

But my concern is apparently they are not presenting the whole picture which in effect skews the----

I can tell you that that would be counter to what you would do--I am a doctor.

Going back to green chemistry, it seems to me as if that would be the basis for a proposal regarding inherently safer technology.

why in the world are we making decisions that affect an incredible number of jobs on something which doesn't have a plausible alternative explanation

I am not sure why it has taken you so long to implement these suggestions I put forth...

the concern, though, is that policy is manipulating process in science to achieve an advocacy as opposed to achieving truth

It would be incredibly time-intensive, resource-intensive to really do an adequate review.

I agree with Dr. Burke that there is indeed a threat to IRIS's reputation and I think we are seeing it in terms of an uncovering of how they present facts.

That is either suggesting incompetence or it is suggesting the pursuit of a political agenda.

We think of Hepburn from China causing many deaths, correct?

But there are a heck of a lot of generics being manufactured in India and other Third World countries so are they just not producing the ones that we are in short supply of or are we just not confident of the quality of the product which…

On rollcall No. 708 I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.'' Stated against:

Now, it seems like there is a clear prejudice here because the insurance company has fixed costs.

This MLR is clearly prejudiced against such plans.

there are some problems with the way the statute was drafted because it didn't take into account the fact that if you have a consumer-directed plan...

Why would we have a policy which is prejudicing against the purchase or the delivery of a plan?

On rollcall No. 630, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''

Do we know that the effects of this taskforce, which I am sure consume a fair amount of resources--are they responsible for our decrease in tobacco usage or would it just be the fact that we are taxing the heck out of it and that it making…
