"The legacy of asbestos, unfortunately, is very much with us, and we are passing it on to the next generation."

"This legislation would prohibit the manufacture, processing, and distribution of asbestos and asbestos-containing mixtures and articles one year after its enactment."

"Unfortunately, that is not good enough. I am sure other Members will discuss concerns with the asbestos risk evaluation."

"I am so proud to be holding this hearing today, and I hope we are able to move forward on behalf of all the people-the victims and their families-that Linda is here to help represent."
