On the recordApril 21, 2004
I acknowledge that it is important legislation. For example, I met in my office with Ken Bowa from Nevada, one of the vice presidents of the Pfizer Company. You would not think that a company that manufactures pharmaceuticals would have an asbestos problem, but they do. They bought a company 30 years ago, or thereabouts, and that company at one time produced a material that had asbestos in it. Even though this is a multibillion-dollar company, that small purchase they made is causing them a lot of grief. So I know the problems from the business perspective.
