Mr. Rogers. Do you kiiow of any others besides the one you 

 mentioned ? 



Mr. DoMiNiCK. We have had a number of statements filed with re- 

 spect to the dumping of munitions and other matters. Many of those, 

 of course, have been thoroughly reviewed by the Congress and by 

 others. But impact statements were filed in the more celebrated cases. 



Mr. Rogers. The nerve gas dumping ? 



Mr. DoMiNiCK. That is correct. 



Mr. Rogers. I was speaking of other than those that the Congress 

 has gone into. Well, if you will submit that. _ 



I think it is important, if we are going into this whole question, to 

 set up some organization with some toxicologists in it. Do you have 

 any toxicologists operating in your Agency ? 



Mr. RucKELSHAUS. Yes, we do. 



Mr. Rogers. What is your setup there ? 



Mr. RucKELSHAUS. We are attem.pting to increase the number of 

 toxicologists that we have in tlie Agency. 



Mr. Rogers. How many do you have ? 



Mr. RucKELSHAUS. I can't give you the specific number, because it 

 changes from day to day. We are trying to hire toxicologists, who are 

 in short supply in our Agency and, indeed, in the country. Particularly 

 in our pesticides office we have a program to hire immediately approxi- 

 mately 50 additional toxicologists, in order to comply with the provis- 

 ions of the Pesticides Act. 



Mr. Rogers. But you don't know how many you have presently? 



Mr. RucKELSHAUS. I can't give that exact figure. I can supply 

 it for the record. 



Mr. Rogers. Do any of your people here know ? 



Mr. RucKELSHAUS. Not that I know of. 



Mr. Rogers. Nobody knows? I won't pursue it, if no one knows. 



Mr. RucKELSHAUS. We can supply that information for the record. 



Mr. Rogers. I think it would be helpful. I realize you can't keep 

 everything in your head, but I think it would be helpful to have sup- 

 porting people here who could give us some of these answers that we 

 need to pursue.
