low-altitude surveillance flights over farmers' and ranchers' private property has caused bipartisan concern, and it is happening--EPA is flying these flights. Senator Nelson and I and the entire Nebraska delegation wrote to Administrator Jackson saying, ``What is going on? What are you doing?'' Their response was kicked down to the Regional Director. It was incomplete. It was totally unacceptable. This is not about drones, this is about flights over feed lots, trying to determine if there is a violation and then pursuing that action. What we are asking for is for the public to be advised of what they are doing. Until that happens, this amendment simply says: Stop. You can't do this anymore until you let us know how you are using this information and for what purpose. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired.
