Madam Chairman, we have had some challenging policy issues to work through, so I am very pleased that we were able to pass a bill that included critical increases for national parks, tribal programs, Land and Water Conservation Fund, and many of the programs that we will discuss this morning.
Mike Connor praises the collaboration with Chairman Murkowski on the budget bill.

Too many waters remain polluted in this country. Too many Americans still lack access to adequate sanitation, stormwater, and drinking water services.
We need to invest more in resilience. There is no question about it, given all the factors that you just enunciated.
The inland waterways are a jewel of our system of water infrastructure in this country.
You have my full commitment to elevate these issues, discuss them rigorously within the Administration and to work with you and the Committee members in that effort.
