I urge my colleagues, the Administrator and everyone involved in this issue to keep this in mind as we move forward.
The Administration's budget proposes to cut clean water infrastructure spending nearly in half of fiscal year 2004 enacted levels.
I am deeply disappointed that the President has again refused to seek reauthorization of the polluter pays fees to fully fund the program.
I am also very deeply concerned with the Administration's effort to promote its Clean Skies Initiative.
