Political Quotes

“Mr. Chair, the gentleman talks about a compromise. I will not compromise and allow our people to go without water, people that have no drinking water, only to have FEMA come in and bring bottled water. I will not shut down our farms. That is not a compromise. This is a Federal project that has our water for our community that now they want to double the amount that goes out to the ocean. It is a waste. It is harmful to our community. It will shut down our agriculture, and it will leave people without potable drinking water. This is insanity to try to say that you are saving the fish when there is no science. This will harm the fish. Without water, without green power, and without cold water, you will kill the very fish that you are trying to save. I believe that our farms deserve this, our communities deserve this, and our people must have it to survive. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Denham). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 66 Offered by Mr. Abraham The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 66 printed in House Report 115-830.”
