SOCMA President and CEO Lawrence D. Sloan issued the following statement on the House vote on the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act:
"This is a truly historic moment for a major piece of environmental legislation. SOCMA and the specialty chemical companies that we represent have been longtime stakeholders in the TSCA reform debate. We applaud the leadership of Congressmen Fred Upton (R-MI) and John Shimkus (R-IL) for their overwhelming success in improving the current law while recognizing the need to protect chemical innovation made possible by SOCMA's members.
