Madam President, I wish to take a quick moment and thank my friends, my colleagues for supporting this effort, and I look forward to some lively discussion on the EPA's overreach and this WOTUS rule. I encourage my fellow Republicans and my fellow Democrats to carefully consider what this overreach by the EPA does to their home States. Just as it does in Iowa--it covers 97 percent of our land. I encourage them to listen to their constituents very carefully as we move forward on this debate and this vote. Again, I thank my colleagues for supporting this effort. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Texas.
