      DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SOUTHWEST WATERFRONT, WASHINGTON MARINA

  Mr. BREAUX. Mr. President, I thank Senator Landrieu and Ms. Kate 
Eltrich of her staff for their good work in crafting the District of 
Columbia provisions of the Omnibus Appropriations bill. I was very 
pleased to see that the bill included $2,800,000 to continue 
improvements on the historic Potomac Southwest Waterfront. It is my 
understanding that this appropriation will be used to fund certain 
improvements and repairs to the portion of the Southwest Waterfront 
currently leased to the Washington Marina.
  Ms. LANDRIEU. The Senator's understanding of the purpose of this 
appropration is correct. Furthermore, through this appropriation a 
good-faith partnership between the Federal Government, the District of 
Columbia, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the marina lessee, the 
marina will be restored for the benefit of all District of Columbia 
citizens.
  Mr. BREAUX. I thank the Senator for providing her understanding and 
clarification of this issue.
