On the recordJuly 18, 2006

if I may make one statement before yielding to the Senator from Missouri, that is in direct variance with a report of the Corps of Engineers on June 3 that did not sufficiently justify its recommendation to retire the McFarland. And they found further that there are no assurances that private industry will be able to fill the void created by the decommissioning of McFarland. I yield now to the Senator from Missouri. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Missouri is recognized.
