On the recordMay 11, 1995
although we know the pressures and constraints and we know very well what enormous pressures there will be on Governors not to move to the stage of compliance, I want to see compliance. I want to see our open spaces, runoff of pollution from open lands, cleaned up. That is the next frontier. That is the challenge that we must meet. This bill gives 19 years to get to that point, but the deadline will always be a mirage. It will always be out there just beyond our grasp because the funding will never be there. I wish the Chair would agree to a means in which we could accomplish that the objective without having it slip from our grasp and not be so elusive as this bill provides. I urge my colleagues to support my amendment, which strikes those provisions and puts some teeth into the non-point source provisions of this bill, which otherwise are reasonably good.
