I would like to join with him in thanking the committee for what they have put in this particular bill with the shore protection...these are very important projects. The Kissimmee River going back to the natural flow into Lake Okeechobee and then south through the Sharks Slough to the Florida Bay, this is tremendously important to the Everglades and should be of utmost importance to this committee and this Congress. I would also like to point out that one of the facilities that would be lost if we do not at least go towards the Senate would be the Melalueca Quarantine Facility, which is tremendously important.
