I appreciate the majority leader's statements about when freshwater becomes saltwater. I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Thompson), who represents the part of California that understands the incredible ecological and economic value of that mixing zone where freshwater becomes saltwater, and represents communities that are on that thin blue line depending on that point at which freshwater becomes saltwater. And if it were compromised, and if that saltwater were allowed to intrude by virtue of some of the provisions in this bill, he represents the front line of communities that would be very adversely impacted.
