My California colleagues, Representative Carbajal and Senator Feinstein wrote a letter to you on May 17th requesting an update on the status of the rulemaking regarding automatic and remote control shutoff valves.

But I had one more question to add, Administrator Elliott, that one of our priorities in the 2016 act was to ensure that the coastal beaches and marine coastal waters are considered unusually sensitive areas for purposes of ensuring…

I have a question regarding the intersection of pipeline safety and railroad operations.

The shutoff valves and leak detection technology could have prevented the environmental and public health damage caused by the tragedy.

This amendment, while potentially well intended, could have the unintended consequences of weakening the Nation's safety standards for levees. I understand the gentleman plans to withdraw the amendment, and I commit to continue working…

I just want to take this time, since this is the last amendment, to thank Chairman Shuster and Ranking Member Graves for their support, but most of all, I want to thank our staff: Ryan Seiger, Mike Brain, Joe Sheehy, my own personal staff…

We have no more speakers, but may I add that I agree with what Ms. Gabbard said. It is unnecessary to bill any kind of fee to our veterans or the organizations that honor them. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Yes, I do. Not only that, but I remember the song that included Route 66. He will remember that, if he is young enough.

May I inquire how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from California has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Indiana has 30 seconds remaining.

I just think that, again, we are saying anything Obama did is wrong. I want to continue protecting the waters of the United States for the American people. Mr. Chair, with that, I yield back the balance of my time.

I claim the time in opposition to the Banks amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from California is recognized for 5 minutes.

Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 181 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 182. ____________________

it is really just a scam.

I and other members of this committee believe the Corps should retain its Civil Works mission, not only because of historic expertise in managing and balancing our Nation's water resources challenges, but also because this civil mission…

the President's priorities are what they always have seemed to be: how best for the Wall Street friends to profit off American people.

Why would you want to preclude the potentially great projects that have already had non-Federal revenues already lined up by responsible States and local governments?

Give us your commitment to make these critical transportation projects a priority, potentially convening a DOT working group among staff so that the needed infrastructure is in place to host a successful Olympic Games.

Do you think States should be allowed to give preference to hiring their own--and taxpayers when they are paying for the vast majority of the project?

When that passed, it had bipartisan support. It raised the gas tax, it raised the vehicle license fee.

Do you support this recently passed legislation? It is California's Senate bill.

It certainly seems to prejudice towards rural commuters, or rural users.

Can you please give us your commitment that you will look at it, do everything you can to support the project, ensure that it is built on time, and ready for the Olympics?

I see this as more of an attack on urban and suburban commuters.

DREAMers embody our American ideals, our values, and everything we hold dear. They are proud servicemembers, students, teachers, healthcare workers, first responders, and entrepreneurs. The DACA program has allowed many of them to build a…
