On the recordJuly 24, 1996

the gentleman, who is a member of the full committee and a very strong advocate of the CAP, has discussed this amendment with us. In examining his recommendations, on a number of these we completely agree. How we missed them, I do not know. As an example, the siphons. The siphons are in litigation, have been for quite some time. And some of the repairs, I understand, have been made. But there are still some that have not been made subject to whatever the decision will be by the court. But a number of others are legitimate and ways to save money. Anytime this committee can find a way to save money, and it is unanimous from the gentleman's delegation from Arizona, we have no objections. We welcome it, and I thank the gentleman.
