"It is deeply disappointing that 40 years after EPA began work to ban asbestos under TSCA, we need to pass another law to ban this deadly substance."

"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."
