there is so much misinformation in this debate it is mind boggling. Let me read from the D.C. Circuit Court decision. ``The factors EPA uses in determining the degree of public health concern associated with different levels of ozone and particulate matters are reasonable.'' That is a direct quote. Secondly, not one penny is going to be spent in the designation process. The only money that will be spent is if the Supreme Court upholds these rulings. The fact of the matter is not one penny will be spent by any community. No community loses highway funds. No community loses any support from the Federal Government for economic development activities. The gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Gilchrest) was absolutely correct. It all boils down to this: The American people have a right to know. The American people have a right to know.
