…delivered a request to Congressman Ken Calvert, Chair of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee on Science:

Re: Request for direction, support and sponsorship of a congressional investigation into government agencies acting in concert to interfere with compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, 1986, and 1996 and other mandates of their respective agencies.

Agency involvement:
The Environmental Protection Agency, Food and Drug Administration, Consumer Products Safety Commission, National Academy of Science, and the various divisions of the U.S. Public Health Service, including but not limited to the National Institute of Health, National Institute of Dental Research, and Center for Disease Control, as well as the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, have each either provided false and misleading information to negligently misrepresent the safety and effectiveness of ingested fluoride, acted in a manner illegally endorsing the sale of industrial hazardous waste, or acted negligently and without due diligence in the performance of their duties in support of such conclusions.

Citizens for Safe Drinking Water provided a brief outline of commercial interests as well as 10 specific actions that support our initial contentions that these agency actions deserve oversight consideration.

After a notable request by Kathleen Thiessen, Ph.D., on May 10, 1999, a first round of questions from Congressman Calvert to Director Carol Browner of the EPA initiated answers, as well as third-party responses to the EPA answers from various sources.

Congressman James Sensenbrenner, Chair of the House Committee on Science, replied to Maureen Jones of Citizens for Safe Drinking Water on December 13, 1999. "I am sorry to say that EPA's answers were extremely insufficient, and as such, the investigation will continue," Sensenbrenner said.
