On the recordJanuary 30, 1995
I rise in support of the Borski amendment. This amendment assures that we do not cripple our future efforts at protecting the basic rights of our constituents. As we learned so dramatically in Milwaukee, when over 100 individuals died because of waterborne bacteria, pollutants in our water can have serious adverse health effects. If we support the Borski amendment, we will be able to respond to new and serious threats to human health. If we do not adopt this amendment, government will be far less able to respond and will be far slower in responding to new and serious waterborne threats to human health. To me, this is what the amendment is all about. Therefore, I urge my colleagues to support the Borski amendment. I congratulate my colleague for having the foresight to be willing to assure our ability to continue to protect our constituents from water pollution which may cause significant and serious health problems.
