I ask this body to recognize the important need of investment. Behind every major industrial development project is a need for waste treatment disposal. We are asking the Government, governmental sector, local and State governments and public service districts to take on an increased responsibility along with increased flexibility.

I will not make that argument on the floor today, but I would urge that we not support the amendment of the gentleman from Oklahoma and urge my colleagues to permit the language to continue that is in the bill.
