On the recordSeptember 22, 2004
Mr. Speaker, this bill would authorize the Secretary of the Interior to work with local interests to study possible projects to stabilize groundwater levels in San Joaquin County in California. I appreciate the efforts made by the chairman of the Committee on Resources and the author of this bill, the gentleman from California (Mr. Pombo), to accommodate the concerns of neighboring water users. Section 2 of the bill was amended in committees to allow the participation of the East Bay Municipal Utility District as this project goes through the planning stages. We have no objection to passage of this legislation.
