On the recordApril 22, 1999
This simple but important legislation aims at protecting our Nation's beachgoers from unhealthy ocean water quality conditions. Whether it is swimming along the Great Lakes, surfing off of southern California, or vacationing at the Jersey shore, beachgoers everywhere have the right to know that the beaches they choose to visit are safe for themselves and their families. I want to commend these gentlemen for their dedication and tireless efforts to protect the public from unhealthy water conditions at our Nation's beaches, and I hope that this time we can have it signed into law.
