Therefore, it is prudent that we rethink the Corps' role in helping communities facing water insecurity.

Through the biennial enactment of the Water Resources Development Act, WRDA, this committee is addressing the water-related needs of our States and local communities.

WRDAs are a shining example of how Congress can efficiently and effectively meet the bipartisan needs of our communities when we decide it is best to work together than apart.

Communities across the country are now facing similar water supply and water conservation challenges as we have long felt in the West.

We seek to address these challenges through predictable enactment of WRDAs--providing the Corps with the tools necessary to address community needs.

I look forward to working with you on this proposal, and on our continued partnership to develop another successful WRDA this Congress.

Would direct the Corps to give equal budgetary and policy priority to water supply and water conservation elements of Corps' projects that are authorized by Congress.

To be clear, my proposal does not automatically add water supply or water conservation to the existing projects...

State and local interests should always retain primary responsibility for meeting water supply needs.
