Mr. Speaker, I am deeply disappointed in the failure to include an additional $650 million for the Superfund Program. This increase in the Superfund response, or cleanup account, was requested by the President and concurred in by the bipartisan leadership of both the House and the Senate budget agreement. This money is vitally important if we are to expedite the cleanup of hundreds of toxic waste sites located in virtually every State of the Union.
