Medical Doctor with Mesothelioma: "Asbestos Fibers Do Not
Respect the Color of your Collar."

Dr. Bret Williams, a physician in North Carolina, speaks in favor of banning asbestos and funding medical research for a cure. Dr. Williams underwent extra-pleural pneumonectomy in May of 2003. "Sadly," he said, "the asbestos bill before Congress (SB 1125) would save industry many millions of dollars, but would not divert any of that windfall to research or prevention." Dr. Williams is represented by attorney Roger Worthington. March 24, 2004, Washington D.C.

Senators Speak Up Against Asbestos!

"It is time to end the suffering," announced Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wa) at the Ban Asbestos Act press conference in Washington, DC on March 24, 2000. Sen. Murray said that over 1.3 million workers in the U.S. are exposed to asbestos on the job every day. To illustrate the problem, she displayed a box of asbestos brake linings she had bought that week from a store in our nation's capitol. Also shown, L to R, are Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) and Sen. Mark Dayton (D-Mn).
