When our last bill that Mr. Joyce and I worked on left here at the House, it has $1.3 billion more dollars in it than when it came back from conference committee.
Clean, safe water is the hallmark of an advanced society. And for too long, we have taken it for granted.
We are allowing our children to fall through the cracks, and that is something that we can't continue to do.
Chairwoman McCollum, you have been just a champion for the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
I think it is really important to get into schools and for kids to understand music is language, music is math.
I wholeheartedly agree with you that we need to have better oversight of how the money is being spent.
I want to figure out what that Safe School Grant looks like, and I, quite honestly, don't know whether or not that those are grants you are available for.
We want the funding to continue to move forth and Congress to continue to move those fundings to fund that program.
There is nothing any of us, I think, throughout Congress, huge bipartisan support to support LWCF, fully funded.
