contributions of The Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) serving the Fort 
Worth District of Texas. The USACE provides flood risk management to 
the Dallas metro area, stores water for the City of Dallas, and manages 
the recreation and natural resources around lake Lewisville including 
the Lewisville dam. My staff and I recently had the opportunity to tour 
the lake and see firsthand the improvements and preservation work the 
USACE has done to ensure the safety of the residents of the Dallas 
metro area.
