I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I support this amendment that allows channels assumed for maintenance to be considered equally as authorized projects. Of course, we are dealing specifically with the Port of Houston on this; so I would encourage all Members from the Houston area on both sides of the aisle to support this amendment, which will improve the bill. Supporting this amendment is important. Also, to those Members from the Houston area on both sides of the aisle, this is something that is going to be good for their port, and the underlying bill is going to be good for their port in the long run. I think it is a fairness amendment, and I thank the gentleman for offering it. I urge a ``yes'' vote.
