Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) issued the following statement upon passage of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act:

"WIIN is an important bill for the people of Arkansas," Westerman said. "It invests in water infrastructure in a fiscally-responsible manner. By passing the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act, we are investing in projects like the feasibility study on the navigability of the Ouachita-Black River System and continued authorization for the Three Rivers Study. The WIIN Act benefits not only Arkansans, but all Americans through its innovative cost-sharing partnerships with non-federal sponsors that will enhance operation, maintenance, and management of recreation sites. I was proud to vote for this legislation and look forward to its impact in Arkansas."
