As it relates to being prepared for that, being able to mitigate for that next wildfire and the damage that it can cause, there's a lot of topics that are being discussed as far as what actually caused these particular wildfires, not just what gets lit, but how it spreads and what communities can do to be prepared.

The EPA is going to continue, no matter what, in doing environmental science. We have these core statutory obligations that we must fulfill. And the environmental science work that we do here, the applied science work that we do here, are very important and one that agency employees take great pride in.

Now, as I talk to individual offices, they have a desire to be able to do more science within their offices. So, by having someone who is a scientist in the Office of Research and Development get moved to the Office of Chemicals or the Office of Water, now some people who might be very simple-minded or just looking for a rhetorical edge in Congress, they might want to say,

that we are getting rid of science by moving a scientist from one office to another, even though they're still doing an environmental science mission. And we're gonna be more thoughtful. We're thinking past all of that rhetoric. We're gonna make sure we're fulfilling all of our statutory obligations.

And I got to tell you, quite frankly, some of our statutory obligations, we inherited some massive backlogs because we need to be doing more science faster. And we have great, talented scientists to help with that. But as far as what kind of moves might get made, we're going through the process of being very deliberate and thoughtful on it. And we have not yet reached any decisions.
