“What the scientists were telling us is whether you set that standard where it is now or whether you lower it, there is no measurable difference in the health effect on individuals. They could not see any clear level to say, ``Look, if you set it below this particular level, then it will be a great increase in health. This will greatly decrease the adverse health effects.'' They could not find where the line was on ozone to set where it would make any difference in the health. Why would we want to shut down industry? Why would we want to displace jobs, put people out of work to set a line that we are not even certain that the line we are setting has any measurable health effect or any benefit?”
