            SOMETHING MIRACULOUS IS HAPPENING IN CALIFORNIA

  (Mr. DENHAM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about something 
miraculously happening in California.
  For the first time in decades, we are on the verge of building new 
infrastructure for our water. We have been waiting since 1979 to 
actually build something new.
  Last Friday, with the signing, Shasta, a big improvement raising the 
spillway 630,000 new acre feet of water, and now, next week, passing 
the WRDA bill, which is actually the New WATER Act financing for Los 
Vaqueros, Sites, and Temperance Flat, it is time to build things in 
California and save our number one industry, agriculture.
  These are real solutions and real dollars. We are going to get it 
built.
