“I understand the priority the Senators from New York and Connecticut place on the restoration of Long Island Sound, and I recognize the unique challenges you face in implementing the long-term management plan.

Knowing of your deep concern, I will do everything I can to support your request in conference and at a minimum maintain funding at its current level. My hope is to secure report language directing the EPA to provide funding to the LISO at a satisfactory level.”
