Unfortunately it reflects on you since you have been at the Office of Enforcement now since 2009.

If individual isn't able to gain access to that in a timely manner in order to prepare his or her rebuttal, doesn't this limit their ability to effectively advocate their side of the issue?

Do you still think that the number of proceedings from which you would have to recuse yourself is 43 or thereabouts? Is that correct?

I have been somewhat disappointed with some lackluster implementation plans, but I have been very encouraged by DARPA's Assured Arctic Awareness initiative.

We are probably still a ways away. I appreciate your perspective on it.

I have always thought that this made a lot of sense, particularly in some of our remote areas.

When we have drought situations, as we clearly have in the West right now, I am concerned that oftentimes when our water resources are short there is an imbalance in terms of how our agencies meet the environmental obligations they have.
