STATEMENT OF HON. HARRY FLOOD BYRD, UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF VIRGINIA Senator BYRD. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the opportunity to come. first with my statement. It will be very brief. Mr. Chairman, I introduce Senator Marvin Minter, who is a State senator from Virginia and will appear here in behalf of two projects in Mathews County, Va. DAVIS CREEK AND WINTER HARBOR, VA. These projects have been approved by the Board of Engineers and by everybody concerned, and they have the united support of the communities. They are of very vital interest to the tidewater region of Virginia. I personally know about them, and Senator Robertson and I are deeply interested in them. Senator MCCLELLAN. They are very small projects, are they not, Senator Byrd? |
