The committee chairman stated several times that just because the committee members recommended a 'high' priority for any chemical, that in no way indicated it has the potential to be carcinogenic. In fact, when he spoke about fluoride he said that it has "an important widespread exposure" to people of California. I am also curious why you linked to the one public comment on the issue and not all of the comments submitted to the committee, including those from pro-fluoride people?
