Thad Cochran: “Thank you for cooperating with our subcommittee.”

I wish to honor former Senator Pete V. Domenici of New Mexico, who passed away September 13 in Albuquerque. It was a privilege to call Pete a friend and to work with him as a Senate colleague and member of the Appropriations Committee…

Ensuring that the Corps has adequate funding to meet its responsibilities is a high priority of mine.

Mr. Chairman, let me join you in congratulating our panel here and the participation you're bringing to this challenge.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
