“The ludicrousness of this, even to appeal this. It is the lunacy of this, the EPA and other organizations have continually stated you take the shore-based and the surface-based, have less problems than any of your public bases, less than all of them put together. I have operated off these carriers. I have operated out of these. You want to take a Geiger counter, go ahead. I have scuba dived underneath the docks. I am not going to do that if it is polluting. And the same people that would control with big Government the rules and the regulations and try and diminish national security, look at them, just look at them right here. And the same people. The team never changes, and you want to put these burdens, and the problems is that you fail to see the solutions to very simple problems. You state your own opinion as fact when it is not. There are studies and studies and studies that show that there is no discharge, that it is not regulated, but yet you would cost the American taxpayers and lay on rules and regulations and have bigger Government, more facilities, more control over the regulatory factors, and that is wrong.”
