Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Clean Air Act Amendments: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the Committee on Commerce, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session
One is that we will delay the date of 2001 unless two things hap pen, either thing happens. One is that there is an economically via ble alternative, a cost-effective alternative available, or that the Montreal Protocol bans it for everyone in the world. When we go through the debate, I remember over trade there is always the issue that free trade is fine as long as it is fair. And that is the whole key on this issue, the question is fairness in this. If we ban it and Mexico doesn't, that is not fair in my books and so that, to me, is one Of the issues about having a level playing field in this banning methyl bromide. Jim is one of the many farmers, these are not big corporate farms, in my district. They are successful farmers who have been doing it for years, but they are having a very difficult time with the competition and with the threat of methyl bromide is totally unfair. So I hope we have some great bipartisan support on this piece of legislation and I really appreciate you, Mr. Chairman, hav ing these hearings and having the real people that work with the product and know the direct impact this will have on their jobs and the future Of their local community. Thank you very much. I look forward to having the comments Of Mr. Grainger presented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
