Senator Murray begins her Senate testimony

Senator Murray testifies at Senate hearing on proposed Ban Asbestos legislation.

Thank you, Chairman Boxer, for convening this hearing and for your long-standing support of my efforts to ban asbestos in the U.S.

I'm so pleased to be here this morning with the distinguished group of witnesses you have assembled for this hearing.

I especially want to acknowledge the efforts of three of your witnesses, Dr. Barry Castleman, Dr. Dick Lemen and Linda Reinstein. Without their tireless work, we would not be where we are today -- on the verge of finally protecting Americans from deadly asbestos.
