"Florida is facing an environmental and economic harm, where toxic algae is coating--it's coating both coasts."

"We applaud the Committee's willingness to take on this important issue, and ask Congress to provide assistance to our state agencies and local governments in their clean-up and recovery efforts."

"As we act at the Federal level to restore and try to clean up the environment, the state--the states--have to do their part, because states are invested with the responsibility of water quality."

"Let's get the House off the dime to pass exactly what you said, Mr. Chairman."
