Defamation could be slander in oral or spoken form, and can also be libel which is written or broadcasted.

The Department of Health and Environmental Control, Poison Control, and the Centers for Disease Control will be agencies involved in the investigating the water contamination. The information found is communicated to the President of The United States in the event that this is an act of terrorism.…
