"the decision by the previous administration to provide set-aside funding to help the hardest hit States was very helpful to us."

"Can you tell me if the Department plans to continue this program and what the funding level will be?"

"I hope together, with what the States acquire through a settlement, and what we're able to do working with you, we can actually tackle this in a meaningful way."
