There have been various pesticides that have been properly tested, that have been registered and then have been used and later on they've been discoveredthat they can create harm, like in the case of this Oftanol that was being used here (in Sacramento, against the Japanese beetle). Now they find that it can cause problems at least to animals. So we stopped using it.

George DeukmejianMy understanding has always been that if there is any indication that pesticides are harmful, that they would not be allowed to be used.
