On the recordMarch 2, 2010
I appreciate the hard work that my good friend from Oregon (Mr. Wu) and my friend from Nebraska (Mr. Smith) have put into this bill. Certainly, as a fiscal conservative, I am concerned about how the agencies within the Federal Government coordinate their activities and coordinate their communications. I congratulate Mr. Wu on trying to bring overarching communications between these four governmental agencies. Just today on Fox and Friends news, they had a seismologist who was predicting just in the very near future a major earthquake which would affect Mr. Wu's home State of Oregon, the State of Washington, as well as the State of California. We've seen a tremendous number of earthquakes recently, and, I think, having the Federal Government agencies coordinate their efforts to try to find some way to communicate between those is absolutely a much needed process. I congratulate Mr. Wu on his efforts to do that.
