On the recordJune 26, 1996
Clearly, the other body is entitled to raise whatever issues it chooses in our upcoming conference, and I expect the Clean Water Act mandate funding to be addressed. When the issue be raised, I can assure my colleague I will work with the gentleman to find a solution to the problems of water and sewer mandates on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Furthermore, I will recommend to the conference committee that should additional funds become available priority be given to water and sewer projects, including SESD and the others the gentleman has made reference to on the North Shore of Massachusetts. I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts for bringing this issue to the committee's attention and in particular the personal time he has spent write me.
