Govenor Olene Walker, State of Utah in her closing remarks
"This is such a good example between private business (Pantheon Chemical) and someone (Dick Buchi and the USAF) willing to think outside of the box and find a new solution (PreKote)."

EPA Region 8 Administrator Robbue Robetrs speaking on eliminating chromated conversion coatings
"Win, win, win situation-good for the environment because it (PreKote) eliminated a dangerous product, good for the Air Force because it protected its people and good for the country in that it (PreKote) demonstrated that you can do what it is you are supposed to do and do it in an environmentally sound way."

Laura Roberts, CEO of Pantheon Chemical speaking on affecting change
"Big change starts with a few brave committed individuals and I am honored to work with people like Dick Buchi, Wayne Patterson and Glen Baker from Hill AFB. These are people with a passion for making a difference and affecting change. Along with others others like Lee Boehme and Carey Johnston with the EPA. These individuals truly live by EPA Administrators and former Utah Governors Mike Leavitt's enlibra principle-of focusing on desired outcomes rather than compliance to a process. By doing that they were not allowing old process specifications to impede new technological and environmental initiatives. This in the end led to profound change for the better in many ways. Protecting the environment and building economic prosperity should not a tradeoff."
