Wondered what would happen, was a very positive experience. What about boston at that sometime. Yes. Boston was mixed. By and large, going to boston i had read about paul revere and his ride some lexington and the concord battles and the Boston Tea Party and also crispus attus was the first black to die in the revolutionary war. So i went to see the memorial for hem on the boston common. So i soaked up the hoyt the history of boston, so very positive. So my experience in boston really was very positive, but later in the late 50s the year i entered medical school was the year brown versus board of occasion, the Supreme Court decision, and so as this was implemented around the country, problems of not only in the south but in the north as well.

So if we wanted to have a more balanced approach what were trying to do is hear from people who are involved in this on a daily basis because the American Public when they go to the Appliance Store to buy an appliance, they dont understand all about this efficiency. They just know what the price is, and then some people are telling them well you are going to save money even though its a lot more, because of the electricity that will go down. And other people make the other argument. So one of our objectives today is to just try to get a better understanding of what is the reality of this. And thats why were here. So i wan
Costs of the new appliance . I would say that these standards have very different affects on different households based on some of the characteristics i mentioned and also some that i state as well in my written testimony. For instance, if you live in texas, maybe its more benefit for you to have an Efficient Air conditioner but do you care how efficient your furnace is . In that case you may not save money by getting an efficient furnace. So i would say that different situations geographical area would have an impact on it . Absolutely. And you indicated the use of the product, obviously, would have an impact on it. And you mentioned, i think, some elderly people who maybe use it less would have less benefit from it as well, is that correct . That is correct. And the Department Notes that in its analysis. So all of us make comments about, oh, this is going to save money and so forth, but it certainly is possible in many instances, i would assume, that lowincome people and elderly are
