Requesting the United States Congress to provide funding for the
purchase of residential areas of Minden, Fayette County,

That the Senate hereby requests the United States Congress
to provide funding for the purchase of the residential areas of
Minden, Fayette County, that have been affected by the discovery
of toxic substances in that area that the United States
Environmental Protection Agency cannot resolve; and, be it
