Trent Lott: “So much of America benefits from our water and our water projects, whether it is navigation or recreation, flood…”

“So much of America benefits from our water and our water projects, whether it is navigation or recreation, flood control. These are not just projects that individual Members want to get for their particular district for political benefit. They have a lot to do with the economy of this country, the creation of jobs and the lifestyle in America. This is an important bill both on the energy and water side. I know both sides want to get it done. I have absolutely no doubt about that. I know the managers of this legislation, Senator Domenici and Senator Reid, are probably two of the best we have in the Senate. It would probably look as though magic had been performed, how quickly this bill could be completed.”
