Jasper Packard: “Funding should not be withheld, and this project should not be delayed. Issues raised by the opponents to the project…”

On the recordJune 27, 2000
Funding should not be withheld, and this project should not be delayed. Issues raised by the opponents to the project have been adequately addressed during the planning stages and appropriate analyses and project modifications have been made to ensure the environment is protected. This project is included in the President's budget request; it is supported by the governors of both States, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as well as numerous Members of this body. The project will deepen the Delaware main shipping channel from the existing 40 feet to 45 feet and will provide substantial benefits. I urge all of the Members to support the project and to oppose the amendment.
