Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As you guys know, the Army Corps of Engineers encompasses a tremendous amount of very rural areas. And The third Congressional District of the state of Wisconsin that I represent has the largest continuous sections of the Mississippi river of any congressional district in the country. We go from lock 2 to lock 11. We have the tributaries of St. Croix, Chippewa, Black River, La Crosse and Wisconsin rivers that all go into there. (00:10–00:19)
