 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 


 Since its inception, MOARC and its members have tirelessly served the 
  greater Kansas City region.MOARC was formed in 1952, following a 
flood, with the goal of implementing better water management. 
Membership today consists of organizations, associations, companies, 
governmental units, and individuals, all of whom are interested in 
establishing better flood control programs and supporting conservation 
of land-water resources.
  Since its creation, MOARC's members have fiercely advocated for the 
Kansas Third District and the rest of the region, advocating for 
projects like the Bush Creek Basin. Without their efforts, it might not 
be recognized as the cultural corridor of Kansas City. And thanks to 
their work advocating for projects like the St. Joseph Levee and Line 
Creek Watershed, the region is better positioned to take action on 
important infrastructure needs.
  I've also had the pleasure of supporting MOARC's work while in 
Congress. Last year, I joined local officials to tour the Upper Turkey 
Creek levee project, for which I secured funding and MOARC supported.
  I look forward to continuing my strong relationship with MOARC, their 
exceptional members, and their local land-water conservation efforts. 
Here's to many more years of responsible waterway stewardship in the 
greater Kansas City region.
