On the recordMarch 31, 1998
I understand further that the $84.5 million is not project-specific and that there may be an opportunity to review Guam's request for port projects. The additional funding in the operation and maintenance account will be used to address high priority needs resulting from recent natural disasters at Corps-operated or Corps-maintained projects. The Corps of Engineers should consider Guam's request in conjunction with other projects eligible for emergency assistance consistent with current law and authorities. I want to assure the gentleman that we will examine this issue as the process proceeds to conference with the Senate, and we will do our best.
