On the recordJune 27, 2001

Mr. Chairman, I rise in qualified support of H.R. 2311, the FY 2002 Energy and Water Appropriations bill. I recognize the incredibly difficult circumstances Chairman Sonny Callahan, Ranking Member Peter Visclosky have endured in crafting this bill. In light of the dramatic budget cuts proposed for the Corps, I applaud the Subcommittee for funding the Brays Bayou flood control project at the Harris County Flood Control District's capability--$5 million. When completed, the Brays Bayou project will be a national model for local control, community participation, flood damage reduction in a heavily populated urban watershed, and the creation of a large, multi-use greenway/detention area on the Willow Waterhole tributary.
