Priority of the agency now. I have one more question. You recently stated that the sole basis for recommendation to the ban of most widely used chemicals was cumulative Risk Assessment which found the majority of Citizens Advisory Panel recommendation which found the majority of risk associated with chemicals was from another chemical, dehp. Can you explain concerns for using cumulative Risk Assessment as a basis for such regulatory determination . Thank you. The chap and the proposed rule is of great concern to me has been of concern to me since the chap issued its report because i believe the chap report should have been a public should have been subject to public peer review at that point. From that point onto me the system and whole process has been flawed. The cumulative Risk Assessment youre talking about is one of my concerns in that the process thats used, thats not well accepted in the Scientific Community, cumulative Risk Assessment, so i think that goes to the process and va
Because two men in that office came up to me and said we think you could do more than type and file. Do you want to know what we do . They mentored me, took a chance on me, gave me a helping hand. In all my career, all my life people have taken a chance for me. Its also true that its still different for women in some ways. Women in positions of authorities are caricatured differently, scrutinized differently, because its different, its new. Ask that and that sometimes makes it very hard. The way we should think about this is to recognize that Human Potential is the only limitless resource we have in this world. Its also the only resource we need to solve every problem we have and attack every opportunity in a successful way. Women are half the potential of this nation. Women are the majority of voters. If you look around, womens potential hasnt been fully tapped. So that means something for all of us. We ought to be tapping everyones potential and make sure that regardless of what some
To you that with this in mind what actions have you taken in the past year to provide relief to companies with respect to costs of Third Party Testing requirements . Thank you congresswoman. One of the areas we found interesting, and this was discovered by Small Business ombudsman, i dont want to get the commissioner upset since it involves his prior occupation, but we found a lot of Third Party Labs are testing for services that are not required and so our Small Business ombudsman and his Office Provide phenomenal support and assistance working with Small Businesses and i encourage any members with Small Businesses that have issues, reach out to neil cohen of cpsc because he can work with companies to go through testing reports and find out whether or not they really need certain testing. He doesnt actually go line by line, but he says here are general guidances and questions you should be asking. He really does a phenomenal job of empowering a lot of companies. Thats gone a huge way
The final death sentence for those groups in those areas. Those groups tend to overplay their hand. They have to be careful. They have to be very careful about how to act. I do not to mention the role of and reining in those groups, maybe not militarily but he still very influential. You dont want to cause trouble and you dont want to be direct enemy every day because in iraqi will come out on top. Its very difficult. And, finally, i dont think there will be a hezbollah anymore. Ive heard different metaphors about what will happen at right. Somebody told it would be like libya with different groups competing. I dont think it will be that. Theres a safe structure that those groups out to be part of protecting. It cannot be like hezbollah for simple reason, its different kind of threat and different groups. Hezbollah was only dominant group in lebanon during the lebanese civil war. In iraq of all of these groups. You have 150, eight of them are really big. We have to wonder which one wil
