On the recordJune 26, 1996
reclaiming my time, my colleague was a little bit conservative when she suggested that the filtration plant would cost $6 billion. As a matter of fact, we have had cost estimates as high as $8 billion. In addition to that, it would cost $350 million a year just for operation and maintenance. We are getting smarter around this institution. What we are proposing is a modest expenditure to save billions of dollars. I am comforted by the chairman's good words, and I appreciate the gentlewoman's support.
