My home State of Rhode Island, we have, I think, three times the national average in terms of the sort of presence of radon in homes and other buildings.

In this budget EPA is proposing to eliminate the Beach Act Grant Program.

Can you tell us when you anticipate finalizing the volumes of 2014, and will they be increased to encourage more biodiesel?

My intent is to change this so that we put more resources into the SRF than your budget calls for.

Everyone here is talking about jobs because that has to be our number one priority.

Without continued funding, there is a real possibility that the States will not have the budgets.

It is very critical to my part of the country, your part of the country.

It is just baffling to see the administration ignore this at a time when every part of this Nation... needs plumbing.

Over the last 5 years, the administration has sent up a budget each year, that reduces their request.

We worked awfully hard, Senator Murkowski and I, to ensure that there were adequate resources for EPA facing significant challenges.

Is this something you are going to insist that they continue through other sources?

We are never going to develop the very technology we need both to produce the energy and get the stewardship--environmental stewardship we want.

I voice my strong disagreement with the proposed decreases to the State revolving funds.

I want to express my disappointment frankly.
