I want to congratulate my friend and colleague, Steve Southerland, for crafting the Waters of the United States bill, this important piece of legislation. Mr. Chairman, I have heard from farmers, ranchers, contractors and even homeowners across my district and across this country. They have had enough of regulatory overreach by the administration and the EPA. As many of my colleagues have already stated, this bill will stop this administration from using a pen and a phone to unfairly target those who are our greatest stewards of our land, the farming and ranching families of this country. I urge all of my colleagues to support this legislation. Government should facilitate businesses, not hinder them.
