Warren Anderson, President of Union Carbide, which owns the plants in India and West Virginia, was a principal witness. Responsibility for a fail-safe plant which does not release toxic materials is shared by the industry and the government. The 18 witnesses included, besides Carbide officials, representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency, labor, residents of Institute, and members of Congress. Their testimony covered protective measures, emergency plans, public fears, air pollution regulations, and the performance of regulatory agencies.
