Lincoln Chafee: “I take this moment to pay particular tribute to the Senator from Virginia for the work he did in connection with…”

On the recordAugust 2, 1996
I take this moment to pay particular tribute to the Senator from Virginia for the work he did in connection with providing funding for the city of Washington aqueduct. It supplies, obviously, all the residents of Washington plus some residents of northern Virginia. But for the attention and diligence of the Senator from Virginia in connection with this matter, we would not have dealt with it in the fashion we did. I believe, as a result of the efforts of Senator Warner, the problems of the Washington water supply system will be solved in the not too distant future. I pay tribute to what the Senator has done.
