Floor Speech

Date: Oct. 1, 2020
Location: Washington, DC


Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4470.

By adding the words ``Great Lakes'' to the name of the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, the corporation will better reflect its geographic location and its economic importance to this significant region of the Nation.

Located within the Department of Transportation, the corporation is charged with operating and maintaining all U.S. infrastructure and waters of the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The corporation is also tasked with developing trade focused on driving economic activity for the entire Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence Seaway system.

I urge support of the bipartisan legislation to better represent what this federally owned corporation means to the Great Lakes.
