We were pushing railroads to take more precautions

Working with the state, we’ve tested the air, the water, the soil quality; deployed teams of health experts; provided emergency loans for local businesses. But it’s not done yet. There’s more to do.

Today, I’m announcing the award of six National Institutes of Health grants to some of America’s best research universities to study the short- and long-term impacts of what happened here. That includes just north of here at Case Western University, so you’ll have a top researcher with you as long as you need, as long as has to go on.

I also want to restate my support for the bipartisan rail safety la- — bill — Senator Brown, Senator Vance, and the congressman from Pennsylvania and others — that require stronger protective measures when trains are carrying hazardous waste.
