Bill Clinton: “I'd like to, if I might, move on to another issue, which affects more people in Iowa than any other place, but that's…”

On the recordJuly 17, 1993
I'd like to, if I might, move on to another issue, which affects more people in Iowa than any other place, but that's the lack of potable water. And I'd like to ask Governor Branstad to talk to us a little about that. I live in a State where I've seen whole little towns flooded out and gone. I don't believe there's been another time in my lifetime when so many Americans in one place have been without drinking water, bathing water, any kind of water as are the people who live in and around Des Moines. And I'd like for Governor Branstad to discuss how they're managing that and how they're dealing with the public health risks that are posed by that. [Governor Branstad described water distribution efforts and infrastructure damage in Iowa.]
