I just want to associate myself with the gentleman's remarks. I support this amendment. I can think back to when I was going to the University of Washington, when Lake Washington, which is between Seattle and Bellevue, was completely polluted and you couldn't swim in it. The people there bonded themselves and completely restored the lake. Today, that is some of the most valuable property in the entire Pacific Northwest. So these urban water initiatives are critically important for the environment and for the health of the people of those areas. I think this is a modest amendment, and I urge our colleagues to accept it.
