Mr. Chairman, this describes some of the efforts that the depart- 

 ment is addressing, using to address environmental threats in the 

 ^ctic. I think it's very clear that we don't know nearly as much 

 as we need to about the effects of this dumping by the former So- 

 viet Union, but I want to assure you that you have attracted our 

 attention and we're going to go full throttle to see what we can do 

 about this problem. 



Thank you.
