I think to prevent that we need to have a strong focus on requiring countries with whom we have trade relationships to meet elementary standards of upland waste disposal responsibility.

We do beach cleanups in Rhode Island as well.

We clearly need to do things to clean up our oceans and to clean up the rivers.

Senator Inhofe is a powerful legislator, and when he puts his shoulder behind something, it tends to happen.

I appreciate your focus on this. It is, I think, a really productive opportunity for us and I am grateful to you.

Senator Sullivan has been an incredible partner in all of this, and I want to pay a lot of respect to him for his work.
