Juan Vargas: “I thank the chairman for those words, and I know that he wants to continue to work with us, and I look forward to that.…”

“I thank the chairman for those words, and I know that he wants to continue to work with us, and I look forward to that. I would just add that the situation is getting much worse, and I would also add that a number of these military installations that we are placing right along the border, especially the Special Forces that we have, the SEALS, I think are going to become more and more affected by this sewage that crosses the border. Mr. Chair, I look forward to working with the chairman and the ranking member to see if we can find more money because this is a real problem in San Diego, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Vargas). The amendment was rejected. Amendment No. 24 Offered by Ms. Esty of Connecticut The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 24 printed in House Report 115-830.”
