"The final Clean Water Rule announced by the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers is a victory for every American. We all rely on clean water. We all deserve to know that our water is clean, safe to drink, and free of chemicals. The rule returns Clean Water Act protections to streams that feed drinking water sources for more than 8 million Pennsylvanians, and 1 in 3 Americans. The Clean Water Act has been hugely successful since first-enacted in 1972, but this rule represents an important, necessary update to clarify the law, to the benefit of our environment and public health.

"The US-UK relationship is an important one. Today Britain is voting in what appears to be the closest election in decades. Unlike all past elections, a multi-party government is likely to emerge. Whatever the British public decides, I hope a strong and stable government will emerge that continues to value this relationship. Together, our two countries must continue to work closely on important issues, such as combatting the rise in terrorism, fighting poverty in the developing nations, and promoting peace and justice in Northern Ireland.
