Opening Statement Of Acting Chairman Hayes
Mr. Hayes. The subcommittee will please come to order. The purpose of today's hearing is to review some of the management problems and some of the contracting activities at the Environmental Protection Agency's environmental research laboratories.
I very much appreciate the panels which have come to testify. I welcome the gentleman from Florida, and in order to expedite what we are doing this morning, first let me go through a few procedural chores.
Mr. Synar always swears in everyone, so I will follow his lead and do that.
Therefore, Mr. Martin and Mr. Konz - as a matter of fact, all the witnesses, we can do this at once and simply get you to rise and raise your right - goodness, we have more people than I thought.
Witnesses sworn.]
Mr. Hayes. Now, see, if that was a group of politicians, we would all know that, in and of itself, was not true and we could not begin the hearing. Laughter.]
Let's see what else I have.
I am going to put Mr. Synar's statement in the record and ask unanimous consent his opening statement be placed in the record and included at this point.
Hearing no objection, so do.
