Yes, ma'am. Ms. McCOLLUM. And then you said you were worried about the administration using section 115 of the Clean Air Act to impose regulations. It has been my experience, from my point of view, representing my constituents, we were disappointed about the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, and we haven't seen this administration be aggressive on clean air. So could you please explain to me your concerns about the Trump administration and section 115 of the Clean Air Act? Because, if they are doing things that you are concerned about, maybe I need to take a fresher look at what the Trump administration is doing, because I have seen them do nothing but block, cut back, and deny the ability to move forward on the clean air agreement. So I am confused to the point of your amendment. The Obama administration is gone, and the Trump administration has removed almost everything I care passionately about with clean air.
