“Mr. President I rise to ask the bill's manager, Senator McConnell, about a provision in the Fiscal Year 2004 foreign operations bill of particular importance to me. This appropriations bill provides $100 million for water conservation, $1.5 million of which the committee report sets aside for Water Missions International for its safe water supply and wastewater treatment projects for several regional hospitals in Honduras. Water Missions is a faith-based South Carolina organization that delivers potable water engineering systems to towns and villages in developing countries around the world. I ask Senator McConnell if he is familiar with Water Missions International and this important demonstration project. I recently met with Water Missions' founders, George and Molly Greene, to discuss this important project and was impressed by Water Missions International's use of low-cost, appropriate technology for improving drinking water supplies.”
