Mitch Landrieu: “May I take a moment to thank the chairwoman of this committee again for fulfilling the promise she made to have this…”

On the recordNovember 8, 2007
May I take a moment to thank the chairwoman of this committee again for fulfilling the promise she made to have this bill--that was 7 years in the making--become law. And as of about 10 minutes after 12, eastern time, it did become law. People in Louisiana and throughout the gulf coast are cheering, dirt is being turned, levees are being built, and wetlands are being preserved. This Congress has kept its word to the people of Louisiana and the gulf coast, and for that this Senator is very grateful. Again, I thank the Senator from California.
