Jared Huffman: “I just want to cite testimony from the United States Fish and Wildlife…”

On the recordJuly 16, 2015

I just want to cite testimony from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service before the State water board just a few months ago, February 18, 2015, in which they testified the delta smelt biological opinion has not required mandatory restrictions on water exports since early 2013, over 2 years ago. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Costa), my distinguished colleague from Fresno. I do not agree with him on this particular bill, but I do want to say that he has been a champion for his district and certainly has great command of the water issue.
