Re: Corrected URL for Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Webinar and related info

[Janet Clark <janet@turi.org>]

Hi Scott,

This is indeed serious, and I thank you for the head's up about the
webinar.  I especially appreciate your use of the very serious TUR
words for P2.  

TURI's Heather Tenney said she appreciated the white paper, and will
bring the CFATS list to the Science Advisory Board Meeting next
week.  At this meeting they are scheduled to review the last set of
chemicals reported for CERCLA for delisting under MA TURA.
