Mr. President, I just want to say again my thanks to--I think I am pretty rabid on recycling, but this fellow from Arkansas is right there with me. I appreciate very much both your leadership and Senator Capito's. I think we are going to shift gears here. We just passed two very significant recycling bills for our country. This is something that I am thrilled about, and I know Senator Capito is as well. And we are going to shift gears and take some time to consider other important legislation: the Water Resources Development Act. Senator Cardin, who chairs the subcommittee, has jurisdiction on the water resources bill. I think he is prepared to speak. I think I need to make a unanimous consent request before we do that. ____________________
