I want to thank the chairman of the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment for his hard work on this piece of legislation. I appreciate all of his efforts and his knowledge he put into making sure that bill is a good product. Concerning Mr. Costa's amendment, again, I believe it is a good amendment. It builds on WRDA 2016 on Corps-owned-and-operated dams, so I urge all of my colleagues to support it. I accept the amendment at this time, and I yield back the balance of my time The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Costa). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 51 Offered by Mr. Soto The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 51 printed in part A of House Report 115-711.
