  SA 820. Mr. SESSIONS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed 
by him to the bill S. 601, to provide for the conservation and 
development of water and related resources, to authorize the Secretary 
of the Army to construct various projects for improvements to rivers 
and harbors of the United States, and for other purposes; which was 
ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       Strike title X and insert the following:

       TITLE X--SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING WATER AND WASTEWATER 
                   INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING PROGRAMS

     SEC. 10001. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING WATER AND WASTEWATER 
                   INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING PROGRAMS.

       It is the sense of Congress that, instead of establishing a 
     new, unfunded water infrastructure financing program during 
     the period of significant Federal deficits in effect on the 
     date of enactment of this Act, Congress should, to the extent 
     fiscally prudent--
       (1) maximize funding for existing water and wastewater 
     infrastructure financing programs, including--
       (A) the State water pollution control revolving funds 
     established under title VI of the Federal Water Pollution 
     Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1381 et seq.); and
       (B) the State drinking water treatment revolving loan funds 
     established under section 1452 of the Safe Drinking Water Act 
     (42 U.S.C. 300j-12);
       (2) abate restrictions on the use of private activity bonds 
     on water and wastewater infrastructure projects; and
       (3) take other fiscally appropriate actions to improve 
     water and wastewater infrastructure in the United States.
