ENERGY AND WATER DEVELOPMENT APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2007

Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I wish to quickly say thank you to the chairman of the subcommittee for agreeing to accept the amendment.

There is a great amount of frustration in Washington State, all over Washington State. I represent an area that is the largest public utility district. I represent an area that has the only aluminum plant still standing because all the other aluminum plants had to go out of business because of some manipulation that took place on the market with Enron.

We just want some time, some space for the parties to work this out, and this amendment will do that, and I appreciate the chairman's willingness to let us move forward.
