1 I am, sir. Page 3229 2 Q And as an industrial hygienist it is 3 important for you to stay current in reading on OSHA 4 and its regulations and what they say about various 5 toxic materials; is that correct? 6 A I do my best within my field of interest at 7 that moment, but they expound upon many subjects in an 8 extraordinary -- extraordinary voluminous manner, so 9 it is impossible to read everything. 10 Q For instance, you are familiar with and have 11 read in the past the 1986 publication of the 12 Occupational Safety and Health Administration in the 13 journal called the Federal Register that talks about 14 asbestos, correct? 15 A I read that at one point, yes. 16 Q And it is true, is it not -- and I will be 17 happy to provide you with a copy of it that I have 18 here -- that OSHA held hearings on asbestos that 19 lasted over -- almost a month and accepted over 55,000 20 pages of testimony about asbestos before they came up 21 with their regulations?
