I don't want to deal with climate changes with just adding to tourism.

So you are saying rely more on the States and so increase or allow the States to propose these blending programs rather than provide the infrastructure because this is an old and, in many cases, infrastructure that really needs rebuilding.

I am just so glad to have this discussion about the beneficial reuse. I think it is just critically, critically important.

Well, I think it is great that you are doing it, and I can just imagine how that can be used.

As we celebrate Pride Month, we are reminded of the great strides towards equality we have taken. Madam Speaker, 50 years ago, on the streets outside the Stonewall Inn where the modern LGBTQ rights movement began, the journey towards…
