Chris Spear Quotations

I think there is finally a consensus that we need to be securing these facilities.

We would like uniformity in the form of federal standards. This is a heavily regulated industry already. We're not unaccustomed to regulations within the chemical industry. In fact, many times regulations are helpful because they provide clarity on how we're supposed to comply. The worst thing you can have in the chemical industry is ambiguity in regulations.

If a truck bomb came through the gate, it would need to go through several layers to get to a sensitive site. But the fact that the process folks in the middle of the plant see that happening immediately, they take precious time to take action and begin shutting the plant down to avoid a catastrophic event.

The legislation is pretty vague in that respect.
