“I wanted to say that I believe this is a very important provision on a bipartisan basis for the State of New Jersey. I used to represent Toms River, which was actually part of Dover township before the redistricting. Of course, now it is represented by the gentleman from New Jersey [Mr. Saxton]. I know the concerns of the people in the area with regard to this cancer cluster or the possibilities that exist in terms of the source of it. So I do believe that the funding to be made available for this health analysis is really crucial not only to Toms River, but something that we need as a delegation in our State to see effected. So I would like to join with my colleagues, the gentlemen from New Jersey, Mr. Saxton, Mr. Zimmer, and others, in support of the amendment and ask that I be considered a cosponsor of the amendment or however they are proceeding.”
