Carson Health Study Amendment to the
Pipeline Safety Bill, H.R. 4937
Mr. Chairman, I’m offering this amendment to provide better data about the health impacts of oil spills. I commend Chairman Shuster and Ranking Member DeFazio, and Rail Chairman Denham and Ranking Member Capuano on their work to bring us a good compromise bill. I’m pleased with the improved information to pipeline communities, especially providing the Safety Data Sheets and grants for public awareness efforts. But I believe we need more information.
