“Mr. Speaker, Michigan is blessed with many wonderful rivers. The Detroit River is rich in prehistoric, historic and ecological wonders. This wildlife refuge near a large metropolitan area will truly be a blessing for our State and our Nation. This is an opportunity where you can go from a city and see this beauty, this historical wonder and this prehistorical wonder. The Canadian government is also embarking on a similar endeavor on their side of this international river, and the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Dingell) has worked very closely with them on that. I want to commend the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Dingell) for his very patient and persistent work on this bill. The bill passed out of the Committee on Resources unanimously. It is a bill that we can all be proud of.”
