On the recordJuly 11, 1995
the gentleman from Arkansas [Mr. Dickey] has very accurately described the conditions on the McClellan- Kerr Waterway and it is a very severe problem and we are well aware of that. We have been trying to tell the Corps that we intend it to be built. We have had some difficulty getting it started, but we will work you and the Corps to make sure that they do fulfill the intent of Congress. We thank the gentleman for his diligence. Perseverance is not lacking in his character.
