                      Wednesday, October 11, 2017

  Mr. SOTO. Mr. Speaker, Soto amendment, Soto number 48 to Division A, 
the Department of Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2018, put the House on record of supporting a final 
funding amount of $27,191,000 for the National Estuary Program and 
Coastal Waterways. It does so by removing and then reapplying $468,000 
within the $2.3 billion appropriation for the Environmental Programs 
and Management account within the Environmental Protection Agency.
  I support increased funding for the National Estuary Program and 
Coastal Waterways and thank Chairman Calvert and my colleagues for 
their support of my amendment.
