On the recordJuly 17, 1993
Let me ask you one quick followup question. When Governor Branstad and I were in Iowa the other day and we saw this vast lake that essentially went from Des Moines all the way to the Mississippi River--the kind of thing the Vice President was talking about there--and one of the people who was there with us said that we had to be very careful how we drained off this water in order not to aggravate the problems of the rivers being too high. Is that a serious issue? [General Williams said the Corps will continue efforts to coordinate water levels in both tributaries and main rivers to prevent further damage.]
