I thank the Senator for his clarification. The Army Corps of Engineers estimates that $35 million could be utilized in operations and maintenance funding just to restore minimum operations in the Great Lakes system. I am hopeful that $35 million of the $821 million for dredging will be directed to Great Lakes projects. I thank the Senator for his work on this important legislation, and I thank my friends for their support in addressing the low water level impacts on the Great Lakes navigational system through this supplemental appropriations bill. ____________________
