I'm not going to say whether it's wise or not, but I will say that caution needs to be applied in interpretation of those statistics and in the conclusions one draws from them. They are not comprehensive. They don't cover all industrial sources, they don't cover household sources, they don't cover mobile sources. The methodology that's employed in the NPRI is one that is not driven by really true statistical concepts, but a mixture of statistical and policy-oriented concepts. So I would ask the committee to be careful in its consideration of those particular statistics.
