On April 12, 1994, I received copies of letters from the alleger to the U. S.
Department of Health and Human Services, Agency for Tuxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) dated 4/7/94 which was in response to their letter dated 3/29/94. This letter im)1ies displeasure with that agencies decision on certain matters that involve tie Uniontown Landfill. Certain statements such as "How two-faced can you be" and "this failure is inexcusable for a health agency charged with protecting health" and the last page references a congressional investigation into the agencies work performed at Superfund sites. I am not sure why the alle request this information; however,ger duesent to thethissensitivity informationoftothis me,issue, nor did I I sent copies of this memo and the attachments to Gene Pawlik, Region III 01.
As a side i pue, during a telephone conversation on April 6, 1994 with the alleger, she y tated to Mike McCann and me that Qhe did trust the U. S. EPA f
Inspector'Geherals office and felt that any investigation they do will be biased in favor of the EPA. iSh'e(also implied that a staffer from one of the Ohio congressman office made The same statement. We relayed this information to Gene Pawlik and Bruce Berson; however, they did not feel this statement constituted a new allegation.
