We can do our best but i can tell you that the ones we follow are the ones on the National Priorities list and the ones where we work with states to address what we consider to be an imminent threat or a need for emergency response. The upper animus was in that category. I would like to see if you can answer some of this for the whole committee. I am glad mr. Bishop is worried about fish and wildlife and the endangered species. Thats something that is near and dear to a lot of us. With that, your budgeting. How much budget do you require to be able to do a job to maybe look at avoiding what happened at las animus .
