     C.T. Howlett, Vice President/Managing Director
     Chlorine Chemistry Council
     before the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
     September 27, 1995 Geneva:

     "The challenge to our industry and to the governments of the world
     therefore should be to foster practices and policies that enable us
     to derive maximum benefits from this powerful element without
     harming the environment or human life. The industry's commitment to
     sustainable development and Responsible Care are two ways we are
     meeting this challenge."

and:

     .. scientists now believe that our primitive ancestors began
     to kiss as a way of extracting a few milligrams of salt from each
     other's cheeks and lips."
