摘要：	The year was 2003: George W. Bush was in the White House; the Iraq War was just beginning; Linkin Park sold more than six million records; "Finding Nemo" was one of the highest-grossing films; the St. Louis Rams were on their way to a 12-win season; a guy named Elon started a car company named Tesla; and a group of inland waterway stakeholders joined forces to launch Waterways Council Inc. (WCI). The organization grew out of a campaign called Waterways Work!, formed to lobby Congress to properly allocate dollars from the Inland Waterway Trust Fund, which had accumulated a surplus of $412 million in 2002. The group, led by Berdon Lawrence and Joe Pine, both of Kirby Corporation, also worked to better tell the Corps of Engineers' story as the federal agency in charge of waterway infrastructure.
