Abstract
In her asbestos work, [ANDREA BECKER] has emerged as the point person for special interests-insurers, manufacturers and other businesses, unions, victims groups, and others-who have concerns and questions about the progress of the negotiations. "I'm optimistic because I think this is an issue that everyone wants to solve," Becker said. The issue "should rise above politics," she added. "My boss is pushing very hard for senators to work together to solve the problem."
