You can ask specifically, but Brooke Rollins and I are committed to working together on this to make sure. Mr. Secretary, hold on. Let me. This is not a gotcha question. Hold on. I went online this morning, The Department of Interior's website says 5780 total number of federal wildland fire personnel employed by the Interior Department in 2024. Right. Your predecessor published that number online so the American people could understand how many people in your agency. This isn't a gotcha. I'm just trying to figure out how many people are. (00:51–00:57)
