The proposal also sets a Federal standard for levels of cryptosporidium in water systems.

Nor do the proposals set a timeline for completing a development plan.

The proposal set a wage floor at $8.50 an hour, which would increase to $9.50 in January 2006 and $10.50 in 2008.

If approved, the proposal would set aside $8 million to buy undeveloped land.

Earlier proposals had set the price of the program at $8 billion, but its authors increased the spending levels in an effort to increase support.

But they worry that the 265-foot proposal will set a precedent.

Another proposal would set the route south to China, at half the cost.

The governors' proposal would not set a Federal time limit on welfare.

Another proposal would set a ceiling on Medicare payments for each state.

I am concerned about the precedent that this proposal will set.
