I simply want to thank both sides of the aisle. I want to thank Mr. McClintock, the chairman of this subcommittee, for allowing us to move this forward, and I appreciate the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Grijalva), the ranking member of the committee, for allowing this to pass. This is truly a technical change. It strikes the term ``canal'' and replaces it with ``water conveyance facility historically known as the Provo Reservoir Canal.''

I appreciate the indulgence of the Congress on both sides of the aisle for making this happen, and I urge its adoption.
