BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCHRADER. Mr. Chairman, I first want to thank Chairman Shuster, Ranking Member DeFazio, Subcommittee Chairman Graves, and Ranking Member Napolitano, and their staffs for working with us on this amendment.

The amendment simply provides communities with the certainty that the Army Corps has the authority to help them mitigate any detrimental impacts to municipal water supplies that may happen due to a Corps construction project. It is a commonsense amendment, and I am glad to offer it.

Mr. SCHRADER. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.

My amendment requires the Corps to include any project or facility for which there is a final report for disposition from the Director of Civil Works to be in their future work plans, to the maximum extent possible.

Mr. Chair, it is a straightforward amendment. I am proud to offer it.
