Arlen Specter actually said...
Mr. Pate, at the outset, I thank you for your timely intervention with the Department on a matter of significance in Pennsylvania where we had a bankruptcy sale involving a company called Carbide Graphite, and you had the matter under study and intervened in a very timely way to forestall an antitrust potential violation which resulted in the continuation of the plant and the employment of some 120 people in a small town, St. Mary's in Pennsylvania. That was, I thought, unusual, very prompt action, and we thank you for that.
