Let me just say the idea that we are 9 months into a new Administration, an Administration that has proposed deep cuts in the budget for EPA, deep cuts to the number of people who work there, deep cuts to the programmatic support of clean water, clean air, cleanups for brownfields, hazardous waste sites, and we have yet to see the EPA Administrator sit at this table and talk to us to defend this budget. That is just unheard of. I have never seen anything like this.
