Our great administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency, Michael Regan, our great chair of the Council of Environmental Quality, Brenda Malloy. Brenda, where are you? Out there somewhere. We're here today because We're finally addressing an issue that should have been addressed a long time ago in this country, the danger that lead pipes pose to our drinking water. For too long, local communities have known how important it was to deal with this problem. It hadn't been given the national priority it demanded, though I'm here today to tell you that I'm finally insisting that it gets prioritized. (20:40–20:51)
