“let me just say in closing on this amendment, I think what this amendment does is it ensures the probability that this legislation will become law, and that we can get on with curing the problems of the Salton Sea. It also ensures that when we go to cure those problems, that we know exactly what we are doing, and that the decisions we make and the money we spend will be spent in a scientifically sound fashion; that we will not deal with just one part of the problem of the Salton Sea, which is the salinization, the continued increased salinization of the Salton Sea, but we will also deal with the other concerns with respect to the fish kills and the bird die-off that is taking place today, before the salinization reaches the levels people have talked about in the coming decade. That is the problem of the Salton Sea currently today. Also, let me say this, that this amendment removes all of the objections of the Clinton administration. It removes all of the objections of the Taxpayers for Common Sense. It removes all of the objections of the environmental legislation.”
