“I just want to add, once again, my thanks to the leaders of this bill. We have talked about the importance of this bill to the management of the waters of the United States. It could not have come about without the leadership of Senator Pressler, the chairman of the committee, who really made it come together when there were many issues still left on the table. Certainly, the distinguished chairman of the subcommittee, Senator Stevens, along with Senator Kerry, Senator Hollings, Senator Breaux, Senator Lott--everyone worked so hard to do something that I think really will be for the benefit of all of the people who care about our waters, and use them either for commercial use or for recreation and conservation. Kudos to all. I yield the floor.”
