On the recordOctober 17, 2001
again, during our discussions earlier this morning between the minority leader, the Speaker and myself with the House Physician, Dr. Eisold, it was clear that we did not feel, according to the doctor's advice, that anyone was in imminent danger at this moment, and that there were Members from some offices, particularly from the other side of the building, that were taking these precautionary screening tests and it was considered advised. On the House side at this time there was seen to be no imminent danger, but as a matter of prudence and in the interests of what I would call the research protocol of establishing a clearly defined base from which to proceed, it was advised that when we complete our business today, that we surrender the properties for the purposes of that sweep and that establishment.
