Assisting development of real democratic institutions so that Ukraine doesn't squander yet another opportunity.

Putin's appetite will show no limits unless we impose a serious price for his aggression.

The outcome of the Russia-Ukraine crisis--and the response of the West--may determine the prospects for democracy for Russia's neighbors and well beyond Eurasia.

What has been done so far is simply not enough and is taking too long.

What are we doing in regards to NATO resources to make it clear to Russia that we are prepared to defend our NATO allies?

By imposing further sanctions now, we would aim to preempt, rather than react to, the possibility that Putin will invade other parts of Ukraine.

The sooner Ukraine votes for a new President in a credible, democratic fashion, the better off the country will be.

Well, thank you very much for that testimony. I feel like I'm getting a continuing legislative credit for your presentation.

This is a particularly glorious day. So it's nice to be able to be up here on the Susquehanna on a beautiful day.

Would that be a similar type of a lift, or would that be--how would you get past----

I think the watershed improvement plans are going to be critical in the TMDLs as to how we manage the most effective, most efficient, most cost-effective plans based upon best science to achieve our objectives.

I've been there before. I've seen the flow. It's an incredible sight.

I thought it was important to have the hearing here right at the dam site on the Susquehanna in order to provide the best setting and the most convenient setting for a public hearing as it relates to two very important goals that we have…

What you're doing now is that you're dredging downstream, as you said, because you've got to keep channels open.

We just want to know that we're as well prepared as we can be.

Is that also true with the eel?

I want to talk about worst case scenario.

So we're hoping that we can work with Exelon to create a safe zone of passage, so to speak, for fish to migrate safely upstream and downstream.

This dam provides an incredible amount of carbon-free energy to our country, which is very important--1.6 billion kilowatt hours of zero-carbon energy annually.

I'm glad I take my grandchildren there frequently to see Lancaster.

I will always remember the legislators from Pennsylvania, because they don't have the same direct site of the Chesapeake Bay that we have in Maryland, and yet their understanding of the importance of what happens in Pennsylvania on the…

Will that require us, as we revisit the Bay agreement, to understand that the assumption on the capacity of the dam is different today than it was before?

It's been a struggle to get you the dollars that you need.

Exelon has proven to be a very sensitive partner in our community, as far as community needs.

So let me just ask you, again, about the methodology that you used here.
