I simply rise to concur with the last group of speakers who have indicated that they were in opposition to this amendment. I have worked with individuals in the State of Illinois for the last several years. My congressional district runs right along Lake Michigan, and we have had a tremendous amount of effort to try and resolve this problem. It has not been resolved.

I strongly oppose this amendment. I yield back the balance of my time.
