QUOTES
We have compiled the following list of possible authors based on our own research and suggestions from Tom Borelli and Bonner Cohen. At this point we need you to verify as soon as possible whether we should not formally approach any of the following individuals regarding the possibility of authoring an IAQ [indoor air quality] op-ed.
[from list]
Mike Bennett - is a journalist and author of 'The Asbestos Racket: An Environmental Parable'...Bennet serves as an advisor to the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow...We had previously identified Mike Bennett, but decided not to approach him due to the following comment he made in a commentary, 'For almost a generation, the American public has been the victim of a hoax perpetuated by its own government, that cancer is caused by environmental factors, and particularly industry, and not by personal habits primarily smoking.'
Peter Samuel - Peter Samuel is currently free lancing part-time for the National Review. Regarding the global warming issues, Samuel asserts that 'the whole sad affair is a case study in the pitfalls of trying to conduct public policy without full and open discussion of fundamental principles and a fearless discussion of science and data. The Bush Administration, like many limp-wristed, so-called conservatives before it, has never been prepared to speak frankly about the humbug of global warming and the greenhouse effect.' ....In May, 1992, Samuel suggested that Bush announce the suspension of the EPA's city smog program, which at the time fought urban air pollution with tax dollars.
Samuel has developed a book proposal to address unsubstantiated scares including alar, dioxin, DDT, ETS, asbestos and others.
