Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that a fellow in Senator Sanders' office, Rebecca French, be granted floor privileges for the duration of consideration of S. 3240, the Agricultural Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2012. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

To simply repair substations, maintenance facilities and other infrastructure to their previous state would be an abrogation of our duty to our customers and the citizens and taxpayers of our states and of our Nation.
The new WRDA bill must make it permanent policy to build these infrastructure projects stronger than before.
So we must continue to work for a fair and balanced solution that provides certainty to our Federal agencies and to the American people.
The Water Resources Development Act is about strengthening our water infrastructure, and nowhere have we seen a clearer reminder of the need to improve our water infrastructure than in my State of New Jersey.
