Fully Funded Intracoastal and Other Waterways Act
§1. Findings
The Atlasian Senate finds that -
(1) waterborne barge traffic is the most economical and least pollutiing method of moving bulk cargo,
(2) such traffic is dependent upon the prompt and proper maintence of the navigable waters of Atlasia,
(3) the intracoastal waterways have not been maintained to the depths and other standards mandated by statute,
(4) said lack of maintenence has impeded the safety and efficency of waterborne barge traffic, and
(5) said lack of maintenence has been due to lack of funding rather than negligence on the part of the Army Corps of Engineers.[/b]
§2. Appropriations
The portion of the annual budget for the Army Corps of Engineers labeled “Operations and Maintence” shall be increased by $385,000,000, with at least one quarter of that increase to be devoted to restoring the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway to standard, and an additional one quarter to be devoted to restoring the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to standard.[/b]
This bill was presented to my by our fine governer Ernest and I proudly endorse this bill.
