R. H. BAILEY 

 and we have made the mistake, nature doesn't take account 

 of what we do with our pencils; it is going to react 

 accordingly. 



MR. BAILEY; The thing that inspired my 

 statement was some correspondence with Mr. Harris, who 

 is a friend of mine. I have great regard for him. He 

 is in a tough spot . 



But you know, these publications set up 



the proposition that we reduce the biological oxygen 



demand down to--you eliminate 70 percent of it. The 



biochemical 

 truth of it is that the/oxygen demand means nothing to 



the shellfish industry. It is satisfied within a half a 



mile or a mile. And if that were the measuring stick, 



why, we might just as well save our money and the pulp 



mills' money. 



Thank you. 



CHAIRMAN STEIN: Thank you. 



At this point we will recess for lunch. 

 Let's see if we can start promptly at 2 o'clock. 



We stand recessed for lunch.
