In this bonus episode, Executive Editor Jonathan Katz highlights main points from his recent interview for his Chemical Processing Notebook series. 

Eric Byer lives and works in Washington, D.C., where he fights for more than 400 companies that make up the Alliance for Chemical Distribution. As CEO and president of ACD, he backs the interests of chemical distributors by lobbying on issues such as fair trade policy, rail reform, and chemical safety. He has testified before Congress on several of these issues and keeps his members informed on the trends and legislation that affect their bottom line. I recently spoke with Byer as the Iran war was escalating and his members were already feeling the pressure.
