Link to Press Release
I would like to thank Senator Lautenberg for scheduling this important hearing to examine the effectiveness of the Toxic Substances Control Act, or TSCA. I want to thank him, and his staff, for continuing an important dialogue with my staff on how to modernize TSCA. I will continue to work with him, and I hope that as we further define our principles, we can reach an agreement to develop a workable bill, one based on the best available science, one that protects human health, and one that balances the need to protect jobs and economic growth.
