I am pleased to yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Cardenas), my colleague from Los Angeles, a city that, frankly, is pioneering some of the most promising water management strategies we have in California, strategies that are reflected in our alternative bill, for which I am grateful Mr. Cardenas is a cosponsor.

They deserve Federal support for those proven strategies, support that our colleagues across the aisle have withheld for too many years.
