On the recordJune 27, 2000
Mr. Chairman, this project was approved by Congress even though the Corps said in their analysis it did not rise to the cost benefit analysis that was necessary to do a project like this. But, nevertheless, this has been approved by Congress. But we have not started this project. We continue the maintenance of the Tolchester Channel, but we have not started this new work project which I am so adamantly opposed to. Now, as far as the delegation is concerned, the delegation is not united on this. There is no unanimous agreement on this particular issue. The gentlewoman from Maryland (Mrs. Morella), the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Bartlett), and myself are all opposed to this particular project.
