Mr. Chairman, we are talking about a rogue agency here that is not only failing to do the job that they are supposed to do, but they are out harming people. They are harming the heroes who are on the front lines that direly need their supplies while they fiddle or faddle in the back room, whatever they do, and deny those supplies, while they themselves are gorging upon $10 million in combat materials and weapons. I asked the administrator about this in a meeting a couple weeks ago. I said, Tell me why the EPA needs the $10 million in combat-grade arms. He said, Well, I didn't know we got it. He said, I will get back to you. I will explain it to you. I am still waiting to hear the answer. There needs to be some accountability for agencies that are going off the track, and I think this is really a good start. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Posey). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 125 Offered by Mr. Rose The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 125 printed in part A of House Report 118-261.
