Do you know how many children under the age of 18 work in agriculture in the U.S.?

the budget request before us today is dead on arrival because it would pull out the rug from underneath every single State in our country and decimate critical public health and environmental programs.

Do you support Special Counsel Mueller completing his investigation?

You committed to providing that report. Please do so immediately.

Senator Van Hollen has all the documents. We'll put them all into the record.

Can you commit to us again today that you will heed this subcommittee's direction on all reorganizations, closures, and staffing changes?

the public deserves real answers.

By my count, there are 14, including the inquiry I requested today.

Will you commit today to do that?

I appreciate you and others bringing that to my attention.

Did your security detail use sirens while you were in the car for nonemergencies? Yes or no.

And you haven't asked them to put a political review in it in addition to the nine exceptions.

this budget request is also dead on arrival because it is completely tone-deaf to reality.

We really appreciate that comment. We are working to try to make exactly what you discussed happen.

the idea is that there's been scientific analysis and thorough analysis on a list, and so then special friends get to get on a list that has been created by the Agency. It looks a little bit fishy to me.

Yes. And you've spoken a lot about the rule of law. I know you're familiar with a very important law called the FOIA.

I appreciated your recognition of the importance of Amtrak for rural communities.

It's a simple yes or no.

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) prohibits directing a subordinate to do personal work for you.

We'll put all the documents in the record, and you can make your arguments to the----

Yes. And since you disagree with the White House, should the IG investigate whether EPA employees are wasting their time shopping negative stories about other officials?

Well, I'm asking for any emails that relate to this, but, yeah, emails from the Agency, that's included.

You personally requested that the sirens and the flashing lights occur, is that right?

That's what I want to know. That's what the families want to know.

There is additional information needed because the GAO found you violated the law.
