I am aware that there is now discussion about rescinding or
delaying the diesel truck ruling because one person in the line of
analysts did not graduate from UC Davis as stated.  I do not think
that this was the only person in the line af analysis nor does
graduating from another accedited unsiversity other than UC Davis
negate his knowlege of the subject matter at hand.  This ruling is
too significant in the run to clean our air to pull it simply
because of a question of one persons credentials.  Too much is at
stake, our air is too dirty, our citizens are too at risk to
abandon this long, hard fought battle.

If those who question the statisticians credentials want to have
someone of proven status reheck the findings of the first set of
analysists, bring thier well founded deficiencies to the table for
debate that would be something of merit.  But to simply change your
mind because of what school he graduated from is inherently
prejudicial or unadmittedly political.  The person who is raising
the question the most has big family ties to farming and I'm sure
has recieved much criticism on his original vote by the ag industry
and old family friends.

Prove there was a real problem with the data first.  Then vote to
revist the ruling. Not the other way around.
