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).
