No dust jacket as issued. S. Hrg. 108-504. This hearing examined very high levels of lead in the public water supply of the District of Columbia with particular emphasis to the risk posed to children. From the hearing remarks by Senator Warner the acting Chair "My constituents particularly in Arlington County and the city of Falls Church because they are the primary customers of the Washington Aqueduct System along with the District of Columbia. The facts of this situation as they have unfolded over the past 2 months are really very disturbing. It is even more disturbing however that we and the public became aware of this ongoing problem only after reports in the local media. Every one of the government officials sitting before us on the first panel the EPA the Corps the Water and Sewer Authority had some measure of knowledge that testing showed some level of lead. That level we will hear more about today and that that water was used for drinking. The levels we understand here on the committee exceeded the Federal action levels. The rest we know there was no immediate action taken even though that knowledge was in the hands of responsible government officials. We will have the opportunity today to give a full explanation of that. While performing research into premature pipe corrosion for the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority WASA in 2001 Marc Edwards an expert in plumbing corrosion discovered lead levels in the drinking water of Washington D.C. at least 83 times higher than the accepted safe limit. He found that the decision to change from chlorine to chloramine as a treatment chemical had caused the spike in lead levels. The contamination has left thousands of children with lifelong health risks and led to a re-evaluation of the use of monochloramine in public drinking-water systems. After the Washington Post ran a series of front-page articles about Edwards's findings resulting in widespread public concern the United States House of Representatives conducted an investigation. The House found that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC had made "scientifically indefensible" claims in a report that had indicated there was no risk from the high lead levels. The Post investigation uncovered evidence of widespread misreporting of lead levels at water agencies across the United States leading to regulatory crackdowns and changes in Environmental Protection Agency policies. The problem was addressed in 2004 by adding additional treatments to the water preventing the chloramine from dissolving lead in the water mains solder joints and plumbing fixtures. U. S.

1976ref. 67803Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1976. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Good. Letter J written in ink on front cover. Cover soiled and scuffed. VOLUME 1 ONLY. iv 245 pages. 24 cm. Title continues: "Storage of Toxic Agents September 16 17 and 18 1975." From a United States Senate website: "In 1973 CIA Director James Schlesinger told Senate Armed Services Chairman John Stennis that he wished to brief him on a major upcoming operation. No no my boy responded Senator Stennis. Don t tell me. Just go ahead and do it but I don t want to know. Similarly when Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman J.W. Fulbright was told of the CIA subversion of the Allende government in Chile he responded I don t approve of intervention in other people s elections but it has been a long-continued practice. Late in 1974 investigative reporter Seymour Hersh revealed that the CIA was not only destabilizing foreign governments but was also conducting illegal intelligence operations against thousands of American citizens. On January 27 1975 an aroused Senate voted overwhelmingly to establish a special 11-member investigating body along the lines of the recently concluded Watergate Committee. Under the chairmanship of Idaho Senator Frank Church with Texas Senator John Tower as vice-chairman the select committee was given nine months and 150 staffers to complete its work. The so-called Church Committee ran into immediate resistance from the Ford administration concerned about exposing American intelligence operations and suspicious of Church s budding presidential ambitions. The committee interviewed 800 individuals and conducted 250 executive and 21 public hearings. At the first televised hearing staged in the Senate Caucus Room Chairman Church dramatically displayed a CIA poison dart gun to highlight the committee s discovery that the CIA directly violated a presidential order by maintaining stocks of shellfish toxin sufficient to kill thousands. Lacking focus and necessarily conducting much of its work behind closed doors the panel soon lost any hope of becoming a second Watergate Committee. Critics from Bing Crosby to Paul Harvey accused it of treasonous activity. The December 1975 assassination of a CIA station chief in Greece intensified the public backlash against its mission. The panel issued its two-foot-thick final report in May 1976 without the support of influential Republican members John Tower and Barry Goldwater. Despite its shortcomings the inquiry demonstrated the need for perpetual surveillance of the intelligence community and resulted in the creation of the permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Historian Henry Steele Commager assessed the Committee s legacy. Referring to executive branch officials who seemed to consider themselves above the law he said It is this indifference to constitutional restraints that is perhaps the most threatening of all the evidence that emerges from the findings of the Church Committee. " From Wikipedia: "The Church Committee was the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities a U.S. Senate committee chaired by Senator Frank Church D-ID in 1975. A precursor to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence the committee investigated intelligence gathering for illegality by the Central Intelligence Agency CIA National Security Agency NSA and Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI after certain activities had been revealed by the Watergate affair. By the early years of the 1970s the unpopularity of the Vietnam War and the unfolding Watergate scandal brought the era of minimal oversight to an abrupt halt. The United States Congress was determined to rein in the Nixon administration and to ascertain the extent to which the nation's intelligence agencies had been involved in questionable if not outright illegal activities. A series of troubling revelations started to appear in the press concerning intelligence activities. First came the revelations of Christopher Pyle in January 1970 of the U.S. Army's spying on the civilian population and Sam Ervin's Senate. U.S. Government Printing Office paperback

From Wikipedia: "The United States Department of Homeland Security DHS is a cabinet department of the United States federal government created in response to the September 11 attacks and with the primary responsibilities of protecting the United States of America and U.S. Territories including Protectorates from and responding to terrorist attacks man-made accidents and natural disasters. Despite the Department of the Interior's name DHS is the equivalent to the Interior ministries of other countries not the Department of the Interior. In fiscal year 2011 DHS was allocated a budget of $98.8 billion and spent net $66.4 billion. Where the Department of Defense is charged with military actions abroad the Department of Homeland Security works in the civilian sphere to protect the United States within at and outside its borders. Its stated goal is to prepare for prevent and respond to domestic emergencies particularly terrorism. On March 1 2003 DHS absorbed the Immigration and Naturalization Service and assumed its duties. In doing so it divided the enforcement and services functions into two separate and new agencies: Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Citizenship and Immigration Services. The investigative divisions and intelligence gathering units of the INS and Customs Service were merged forming Homeland Security Investigations. Additionally the border enforcement functions of the INS including the U.S. Border Patrol the U.S. Customs Service and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service were consolidated into a new agency under DHS: U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Federal Protective Service falls under the National Protection and Programs Directorate. With more than 200 000 employees DHS is the third largest Cabinet department after the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Homeland security policy is coordinated at the White House by the Homeland Security Council. Other agencies with significant homeland security responsibilities include the Departments of Health and Human Services Justice and Energy. According to the Homeland Security Research Corporation the combined financial year 2010 state and local HLS markets which employ more than 2.2 million first responders totaled $16.5 billion whereas the DHS HLS market totaled $13 billion. According to the Washington Post "DHS has given $31 billion in grants since 2003 to state and local governments for homeland security and to improve their ability to find and protect against terrorists including $3.8 billion in 2010." According to Peter Andreas a border theorist the creation of DHS constituted the most significant government reorganization since the Cold War and the most substantial reorganization of federal agencies since the National Security Act of 1947 which placed the different military departments under a secretary of defense and created the National Security Council and Central Intelligence Agency. DHS also constitutes the most diverse merger of federal functions and responsibilities incorporating 22 government agencies into a single organization." Also from Wikipedia: Michael Chertoff born November 28 1953 was the second United States secretary of homeland security under President George W. Bush and co-author of the USA PATRIOT Act. He previously served as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit as a federal prosecutor and as Assistant U.S. Attorney General. He succeeded Tom Ridge as United States secretary of homeland security on February 15 2005. Since leaving government service Chertoff has worked as senior of counsel at the Washington D.C. law firm of Covington & Burling. He also co-founded the Chertoff Group a risk-management and security consulting company which employs several senior officials from his time as secretary of homeland security as well as Michael Hayden a former director of the National Security Agency and the Central.
