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

"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."

"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."

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