With 90% fewer dollars.

So it's your position that there's no PFAS destruction technologies that merit destruction?

Any conversation here?

There's tons.

What I am saying is, at the point of production, yes.

For dredge at landfills, yes.

I'm talking about municipal water supplies to get to four to eight parts per trillion.

I mean, it was your staff and the top technologists.

They were in my office.

They were talking about this.

It isn't there.

So if you are a town in New York right now,

One of the towns that you championed when you were a congressman for PFAS dollars, what are they going to do with 90% fewer dollars to get rid of PFAS?

WELL, FIRST OFF, AS I REFERENCED EARLIER, WHAT WE DON'T DO IN OUR PROPOSED BUDGET IS FACTOR IN HOW MUCH YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO RAID THE SRF FOR EARMARKS.

THAT'S A DECISION FOR YOU TO DECIDE TO MAKE.

NOW, I'M NOT WEIGHING IN ON THE MERITS AND I'M GOING TO OPINE ON WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO ADVOCATE FOR YOUR DISTRICT ON.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE PRESIDENT'S FY27 BUDGET PROPOSAL IS NOT GOING TO PROPOSE

your earmarks for you.

Your EPA plan for clean water is to hope that members of Congress... I'm not hoping that members of Congress are going to rate it.

I know that members of Congress are going to rate it, and they've been doing it for a long time.
