Political Quotes

“the pending resolution, introduced by our colleague from Florida, Representative Alcee Hastings, recognizes the 60th anniversary of the Everglades National Park. It is the first of two resolutions the House is considering this afternoon in tribute to the Everglades. The landscape of the Everglades is completely unique, a grassy river 40 miles wide and 100 miles long. While half of this wonderful landscape has been lost to agriculture, much of the remaining portions of this famed ``River of Grass'' are now protected by the Everglades National Park. I commend and congratulate our colleague, Representative Alcee Hastings, for keeping the issues facing the Everglades in the spotlight. I fully support passage of H. Res. 845 and urge its adoption by the House today.”
