I approach this task hoping to work with my Republican counterparts in pursuing reforms that will lead to better research practices that help EPA accomplish its mission.

my interest is piqued because every single time we have had an air pollution hearing, we have been promised that asthma incidence would go down, and I am a physician.

I am convinced that the overwhelming evidence is that it didn't cause it.

There are legitimate concerns related to EPA's research infrastructure and processes, but they are complex, and we have to approach the process in a well-thought out and planned manner.

the policymakers, as has been pointed out by the panel, point to science as a justification and claimed scientific studies that claim hundreds of thousands of less asthma cases, which appear not to have occurred.

Regulate Baby, Regulate refers to a lack of regulation that is laid out in the editorial on the oil and gas industry.

I suggest, Dr. Schnoor, that perhaps you should graph the incidence of asthma. It has gone up over 30 years.

Call me skeptical. Could you address your use of the word "cause" in that article?

The Environmental Research, Development and Demonstration Authorization Act... was last reauthorized for fiscal year 1981.

Our regulatory system must be based on the best available science.

We need to ensure that our regulatory processes are based on sound science.
