Chairman. I am disappointed to be here once again speaking out against the Secret Science Reform Act. There are many problems that our Nation faces that we need to tacklegrowing income inequity. a badly broken immigration system. and underinvestment in Federal research and developmentso I am having a hard time understanding why congressional leaders think that this body. composed largely of lawyers and career politicians. should devote its attention to telling scientists how to conduct their research. We have heard many of these same politicians declare proudly. "I am not a scientist." as they excuse their ignorance on issues like climate change or the effectiveness of vaccines. yet they want to rewrite the rules for standards of research for EPA scientists. As a scientist myself. as well as a manufacturer. one who started a business that now provides hundreds of manufacturing jobs in the United States and has kept those jobs in the Midwest and understands what is important for manufacturing to succeed in the United States.
