Senator Leahy, I know you have been a long time supporter of the Clean Lakes Program, and that the program has funded valuable lake inventory and restoration activities in Vermont and around the country. While this bill does not fund a separate Clean Lakes Program I do continue to support the language included in the fiscal year 1996 Appropriations bill and again in the House appropriations bill for fiscal year 1997, clarifying that activities funded under the Clean Lakes Program should continue to be funded under the 319 program.
