Congressional Record — Senate S 9641

law. This legislation clarifies the Superfund Act to ensure that the product of scrap recycling is not subject to Superfund liability if certain standards are met. S. 607 does not exempt from Superfund liability recyclers who operate contaminated facilities. Nor does it exempt from Superfund contamination caused in whole or in part by waste generated during the course of processing recycled materials. My support for this legislation is not unconditional, however. During a review of this legislation I have identified a serious flaw in S. 607, as introduced. The language that appears in section 127(b)(2)(E) is drafted in a way that would, I believe, achieve exactly the opposite result that the bill’s sponsor intends. After discussing this issue with industry and environmental groups, I have concluded that the best thing to do is support the bill and work to correct the error in the legislation. I have received assurances by the industry supporters of this legislation that they will not allow this error to stand, and will work to have the problem corrected. I will join with them in this effort.∑
