I would like to ask one last question on a subject that I have had a good deal of conversation with of your forest supervisors, and that is the Quincy Library Group, which has been a very frustrating exercise.

American forests are very important to us, and the work you do is very much appreciated.

I just want to say I very much welcome your oversight and trying to push people.

The question comes, for me, having tried very hard over 16 years to protect this area of the desert.

Should we not cap the size of these things?

I authored the Desert Protection Act in southern California.

I'm going to fight for this land to be protected. And I think that size is a factor, and you just can't come in and build 15 miles square facilities with huge steam plants.

We urge you to renew this wise investment in America's natural heritage and take steps to toward full and consistent funding of these vital programs.

I think one thing, if I may, it's very interesting is whether you're going to be able to develop products from carbon.

I really think we need to have prohibitions extended even more.

Thank you very much, Madam Administrator.

I'm particularly pleased that the President made a $3.9 billion commitment to fund water and sewer infrastructure.

Keeping a focus on coal, I think, is very important.

This is very powerful, and potent.

I think you truly do have a Federal mandate.

Can you discuss with us some of the issues that you might have to address in the next 1 to 2 years, to move toward regulation of greenhouse gases?

As I understand the Clean Air Act, section 202(a), the decision--your proposed decision that's coming, includes essentially two separate decisions--a finding that six greenhouse gases, including carbon and methane, do endanger both public…
