On the recordJune 27, 2001
let me explain my position. This problem is not limited to just one county in Texas, it also is applicable to some portions of Alabama and other States where the same type of incident is taking place. My agreement with the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Barton) was that I would agree to sit down with him to try to work out a problem that impacts me as well as other Members of Congress. So it was not intended to move into one particular county, but to discuss the overall issue of what they are doing with these facilities that these people have been using, in some cases for decades. I do think that we ought to try to find a solution that will apply to Alabama and to Georgia and to Missouri and all over the Nation, because we are all facing a similar problem.
