# RE yourphone message

### Dear Phil


### Thank you for

### your electronic 

### message below and 

### your kind assistance in this matter 

## As an aside 

## Buckman was not trying to complicate 

# EPAs life with the 

### September 2008 petition to register 

### ammonia for water treatment but

## Buckman is having tough time in 

### bad economy to 

### compete with unregistered 

### ammonia forthe

### same water treatment applications 

### and limited 

### number of industrial 

### customers With its petition 

## Buckman was tiyingonly to provide 

# EPAwith additional information to facilitate the

### Agencys resolution of the

### ammonia registration issue raised 

### by

# MrGoldberg for 

### Nalco 

## Buckman wants to be

constructive part of the deliberative process going 

### on within 

# EPA whatever that process is and only if there remains anything useful for 

## Buckman to 

## do Accordingly 

## we look forward to receiving further guidance 

### from you next

## week at

### yourconvenience
Sincerely
