dr. edwards. happy leap day. dr. edwards, i read your interview in the "chronicle." good to hear you getting your dander up this morning regarding being critical of academic scientists and their funding sources and how they have to toe the line or lose their sources. i was hoping you would be able to say a few words about that. i do want to ask if you trust the climate scientists. thank you very much. >> wow. you know, i do have issues with academia. i feel like i have the greatest job in the world, being a professor. i'm working in a great school, virginia tech, and i guess you criticize what you love. you know, i just look around and i see the pressures being placed on young scientists to get money, to get publications and to not necessarily do good science that creates new knowledge and that helps people. i want to make sure that we recognize those pressures and that we create an environment where young people can come into science, especially academia, and follow their dreams and feed this virtuous cycle between the public and science which has served us so well

dr. edwards, do you think that the response was adequate? dr. edwards: complete the criminal. sen. walberg: houston should she action as a human being and under the law? dr. edwards: i don't know about the law, but as a human being immediately. senator: why did it take another five months after the report of high levels of lead in the flint water supply for the final report to come out. ms. hedman: i never told the mayor to his regard that memo. if you look at appendix three to my testimony, you will see what actually occurred during the conversation that occurred -- that occurred with the mayor. greatdman: there is dispute on that coming across the board. sen. walberg: i wrote the e-mail. -- ms. hedman: i wrote the e-mail, i know what i said. i think we can clear that up if we take time to talk about that. thatwalberg: i'm not sure we could. mr. del toro has a different recollection, as well as responses to him. i had the opportunity to talk with him this saturday as well. very different from what we are being told here. that's the concern. again, the human decency act. when the i

dr. edwards is very familiar to this committee and the people of flint. do you know who mark edwards is? >> yes. yes, we've met. >> you've met. >> we had a meeting, yes. >> how long have you known of dr. edwards and his work on the water quality? >> it's just related to flint, sir. we actually have a contract with him to do work with us right now. >> do you believe mark edwards is an expert on water treatment and corrosion? >> i think he is one expert, yes. i would also acknowledge that epa has a number of -- >> the edwards e-mail gives -- including mr. del toro -- the edwards e-mail gives key points, summary at the end, documenting that there is no corrosion control treatment, that people can't afford bottled water, mdeq is continuing to insist the water is safe, and that they know of a child with elevated blood levels already. if you received an e-mail documenting all of these problems on september 25th, including the fact that children have elevated blood lead levels, why didn't you act until january 21st, 2016? >> sir, you're incorrect in saying -- >>

dr. edwards, can you answer that question?the law requires that when you switch to new water source that you do corrosion control studies in advance of the switch to make sure that you have effective corrosion control in place. and in the absence of doing a study, the simplest thing, the minimum that would have been allowed under the law would have been to continue the corrosion control that was used in flint -- in detroit water. so had they done the minimum under the law, adding that or to phosphate to the flint water which has been done for 508 under in detroit, the vast majority of the problems, the leaking pipes, the lead would not have occurred. >> so tell me, give me a time frame. i'm confused somewhat about the time frame when this should have happened. should that have happened in april of 2014? >> this should have been done months before the switch. >> the switch was april of 2014? >> yes. >> and who was the emergency manager during that period of time? >> i don't know at all. >> do you know, mr. earley? >> yes, in ap

dr. edwards describes as one of the good guys, was actually in charge of the office. >> so, mr. edwards, this memo from mr. del toral is pretty comprehensive, is it not? does it tackle the issue? does it inform them as to the health of the water? >> yes. it points out that flint is not being protected by federal law and public health is in danger. >> when should that information have been released? >> had epa just stayed silent and not apologized for the memo to mr. walling and told mr. walling that mr. dell toral was accurate in what he said, i doubt mr. walling would have gone on tv to drink the water and tell flint residents that it was save. >> is that true, mr. walling? were you talked out of it? the memo comes out. you're getting inquiries from news organizations, the aclu and others saying, hey, what are you doing about this? and you go on television and say it's safe. >> i did trust the guidance that i was receiving and that's what i regret in this. looking back. but i deliberately reached out. i asked the white house office of intergovernmental affairs for a point of co

dr. edwards! [camera clicking] here he comes. hi. agent hotchner. um, could you take a look at this spot on her forehead? hmm. that's strange. let me swab it and get it back to the lab. 3 murders in the last 3 days. something's causing his frenzy. could be a drastic change in his life. something he lost control of. or it could be something he gained control of. like himself. if he's finally defined himself as a strangler, he may just be practicing, perfecting his style. he may have awakened. the coroner just called. preliminary tests confirm acetyl alcohol on the homeless woman's forehead. he sterilized it? why would he do that? maybe he did something to her forehead, used an alcohol wipe to remove evidence. well, if that's the case, it certainly wasn't necessary to the crime. this could be part of his signature. we should look at other victims to see if he did something similar. any evidence on the last victim was washed away in the water. and all the other bodies were either buried or cremated. except for one.

dr. edwards is probably eager to do that. i'm going to -- you said something earlier today, which i think took a lot of us off guard, surprised a lot of people sitting here when you said you didn't think the epa had done anything wrong in this entire process. my guess is if i asked you this you'd give evidence like you just laid out s. that the standard to which you held yourself at the epa? just not to do anything wrong? >> no. >> what was the standard to which you held yourself when you were at the epa? >> to do the best job possible. >> did you do the best job possible? >> in retrospect knowing what i know now, i wish we had issued more frequent and more urgent statements about -- >> but it's to your belief and your testimony that you didn't do -- that the epa and you didn't do anything wrong in handling the flint situation. >> as i said i wish we had done more. i wish when mdeq represented facts to us we had verified those facts. >> let me ask you about that because there's another thing you said today that caught me off

by some error, she and edward keller, father of the hydrogen bomb, were assigned the same dissertation topic to solve. i have never seen dr. strangelove, but i am hoping to stream it and talks about how keller is thought to be the model for the mad scientist in that movie. when richard's parents immigrated to the united states in 1937 she had a job at duke who had been her lab instructor. she later married james franc and many recognize that name of the manhattan project and the franc report which recommended not dropping the atomic bomb. richard's parents left durham because his father was unable to get a medical license in north carolina. that is a separate story how the use treated immigrant jews and whether they allowed them to immigrate even. his mom died when he was 16 and you would think she was happy. i am not sure. unless she thought see saw too much from the war and wanted to hide away. you can never guess how exciting bruce's book was to us. out of nowhere and this is why i write and i suspect most people write and publish is because you don't know who is out there and occasionally you can change thought or cha
