Senator Lautenberg said it, confidence, certainty, safety. All is a product of transparency and openness.

Your concern is not comforting, I can tell you that. Action is what we are trying to get here.

I think we would be fooling ourselves to say that everything out there is with zero risk.

I have 10 grandchildren and I want them to be healthy and well.

Well, I hate to answer that question, but convenience has overtaken us.

But putting that aside, you know, accepting that as a condition of existence, Dr. Snyder you are referred to, what do you think about that?

It is somewhere between unlikely and zero? Because it is obviously a matter of growing concern.

If you only had two words you could issue, yes or no, which one would you pick, Mr. Grumbles?

But for now, there is not enough work to be done that a 20 percent cut would not impair?

So is it appropriate to say that there is no cause for concern about human health, even though EPA itself said that it could cause cancer in animals?

So, again being very specific, would improving our wastewater treatment infrastructure, might it substantially reduce the concentration of contaminants?

Thank you very much, Mr. Grumbles. I appreciate your illuminating comment.
