Well done. Very, very well done. And compliments to all involved in that.

If only the Senate, which seems to be the mantra that we are singing so often here.

I believe that there is a ferry system in the bay area that is looking at this hydrogen very seriously.

We often talk about subsidies here. Let's keep in mind that the entire highway system for automobiles and trucks is very heavily subsidized along the way.

We should keep in mind the role of private ferries throughout this.

The WETA program in the bay area is part of, but not all of, the ferry system.

We would encourage consideration of such efforts on behalf of manufacturers in the U.S.

What I would like to offer to the committee and ask of the witnesses here is a briefing sometime during the month of September in which those maps and information would be available to the committee members.

The recapture of the MILCON money that was sent to the border for border walls, that money is back in the Department of Defense now.

Thank you, Mr. Courtney.

This is extremely important in every way.

Clearly, climate is a big deal for us. We are prioritizing it into all the actions we do.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I call to order this hearing of the Readiness Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee.

I am concerned that the Army does not know when it is dependent on China for critical and irreplaceable components and materials.

The lack of water is partially the Federal Government's fault.

When you want to talk rivers and things like that, fine. But every drop of water that falls on somebody's roof... does not belong to the United States.

The Corps does not have an estimate of the cost to do the necessary maintenance and repairs for every deficient levee in the United States.

The majority of levees across the Nation have been located and identified, with some limited gaps in unmapped areas.

I am also very pleased that the Biden administration is already taking action to make environmental justice a core part of every Federal agency's mission.

Most critically, I fervently hope the administration moves quickly to replace the Trump 'dirty water rule,' which was the greatest undermining of the Clean Water Act in its history, and I urge its complete and immediate repeal.

I am very pleased to see that President Biden has proposed to reverse the destructive funding cuts and undo the damaging regulatory rollbacks of the previous administration.

Can you commit to giving the Upper Ohio Navigation Project, full and fair consideration given the urgent state of the project and its significant benefits for my region and our country?

This is a 300,000-acre win-win program that is available.

I want to bring to the attention of General Spellmon the Yuba River Goldfields restoration project.

We also have algae blooms in California.
