On the recordJune 22, 1998
I join all of my colleagues in congratulating and really saying thanks to the chairman and the ranking member who have done more for this country, really, than few other Members. To the gentleman from California (Mr. Fazio), personally, if I have had literally one key mentor in Congress, it has been him. I would join many of my colleagues today to say that as good as this bill is, our hope from a Florida perspective is that the legislation could have gone a little bit further towards the President's request in terms of Everglades restoration projects. I am planning on introducing for the Record an Army Corps of Engineers analysis which talks about the specifics of programs, if this is the ultimate budget, that will not be funded. Congress has made an incredible commitment in the 6 years I have been here towards this.
