“H.R. 999 is really a bipartisan approach to addressing an old problem. What we have done is try to raise not only our environmental strategies to a higher level of outcome-based approaches, but also the political process here in Washington, to one of putting the public's health first ahead of partisan bickering.

They will be able to go on the Internet to see that, should one want to go to Ocean City, whether Ocean City be safe enough to be able to surf in this weekend.”
