Absolutely, and once some scientist has done a study on it and understands what's going on, then the committee can take a look at the scientific reports and call in the people who live around there to find out what's going on. That way you're going to get some intelligence, rather than just trying to debate it around here. None of us, I think, has the expertise and the knowledge; we've never even been there to see the problem. It would seem to me much more appropriate that we ask the department to get a technical, scientific report and bring it to committee. Then you can call in the witnesses.
