Mr. Speaker, a couple of quick points. The gentlewoman attacked this bill because Bush did not ask for funding for it. I would also point out that the Clinton administration did not ask for any funding for this bill either, but Congress has a responsibility which we exercised before when we originally authorized it and which we are doing it again. Regarding the comments about lead in the drinking water, the activity that is going on now is a GAO study that is ongoing at my request to look at that serious situation. I also want to respond to the comment the lady made about the money in the Safe Drinking Water Revolving Fund. I would point out to her that the Bush administration has asked for more money for that program than the Clinton administration did.
