I thank the gentlewoman for bringing this important amendment to the floor. It does several things. The first thing it does is it directs the Corps of Engineers, as the gentlewoman pointed out, to just communicate, to give direction to the folks that are involved in these projects. We keep spinning our wheels in these projects. We are spending more money than we have to, and this highlights a problem that we face with the Corps. Again, this amendment establishes and implements cost-sharing agreements during the dam safety repair projects. Of course, it makes all parties involved communicate so we can get these projects moving forward, so I think it is a good governance amendment. I urge all Members to support this amendment.
