I have a bill that eliminates this Federal fish doubling goal for the striped bass.

The big conflict has been perpetuated by the Central Valley Project Improvement Act, which is CVPIA.

There are a number of social justice issues in California's Central Valley areas that will once again have a zero water allocation.

You have our full support in your effort to remove the doubling requirement for striped bass contained in the Central Valley Project Improvement Act of 1992.

The bill is going to be a bipartisan bill, and we are looking forward to continuing to work with our colleagues from the Committee on Energy and Commerce as we move a bill forward.

The President's budget once again targets the vital U.S. crop protection program, making drastic cuts and undermining the program that was laid out in the 2014 Farm Bill.

This would seem like a very, very cost-effective way to try to save the fish that are being prioritized over the people in Mr. Costa's and other people's districts.

For that reason, much, much more needs to be done.

This is a battle of basic necessities of life. This is a battle of whether or not they are going to have food, or whether we are going to truck it in from other countries.

the arrogance to trivialize such a critical issue that affects so many people in the state of California and around the country, I think is disrespectful to the people in Porterville.

If it were enacted, what operational changes would it make in this year, 2016?

If we are going to talk about climate change, shouldn't we be considering the trees that we plant? Shouldn't we actually be talking about the cleanest energy there is, of hydro?
