Mr. Chair, my friend, the gentlewoman from California, knows that the acid rain that falls on California and throughout the United States comes from the knowing and willful burning of coal with no scrubbers in China. They don't need technology agreements to fix that. The technology exists. They need a will to do it. If we are going to talk about what we would get in the way of air quality, the answer is, we are not getting air quality because they simply won't make those expenses. That is a sadly hollow reason to continue it. Additionally, there are subagreements within the STA. Those do not go away. Some of the things that were cited, if they are appropriate, would continue. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
