H.R. 1598, sponsored by the gentleman from California (Mr. Cox), authorizes Federal assistance for the design and construction of a de- salter and a regional brine line to treat brackish groundwater. The bill also provides for strategic placement of wetlands to naturally clean surface water in the San Diego Creek Watershed. All Federal assistance would be limited to 25 percent of the overall project's cost. This bill is yet another step towards "drought proofing" southern California and will decrease the region's overdependence on imported Colorado River water. I urge my colleagues to support this important bill.
