I simply want to say that, for those who would feel that it is hard to make progress sometimes when there is only an option of more prosecution or more regulation, then this board, I think, meets those concerns because the information derived from its findings cannot be used in prosecution or litigation. For those who believe from an environmental standpoint that we need more investigation of chemical accidents, this board also meets those concerns. That is why I am grateful for the bipartisan support, such as the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Fox], the gentleman from New York [Mr. Boehlert], the gentleman from California [Mr. Miller], and others who have been so active in promoting this.
