Senator Boxer said: "It is a great day for the American people, as WRDA is critical for flood control, port commerce, safe drinking water and wastewater infrastructure. I thank Senator Vitter and the other members of the EPW Committee for working together on this critical legislation."
Senator Vitter said: "WRDA is one of the most important and impressive bipartisan bills to come out of our committee, and I thank Chairman Boxer for her leadership getting this done so efficiently. Our bill will implement real and necessary reforms to the Corps of Engineers to decrease project delivery time so that folks will be better protected from flooding and other projects can help jumpstart increased commerce."
