                      PROTECTING OUR WATER SUPPLY

  (Mr. CLARKE of Michigan asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLARKE of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, nearly 10 years after the 
horrific events of 9/11, Americans are still at risk, especially at 
risk of being poisoned, poisoned by terrorists who would choose to dump 
large amounts of chemicals into our drinking water supply. So in order 
to protect the safety of our people, especially Metro Detroiters who 
drink water from a large municipal water system, today I'm introducing 
legislation to better secure our municipal water systems all around 
this country from such a terrorist threat.
