Rob Portman
The Public Record
Rob Portman is an American politician and attorney currently serving as the junior United States senator from Ohio, a position he has held since 2011. A member of the Republican Party, Portman previously represented Ohio's 2nd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 to 2005. He also served as the U.S. Trade Representative under President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2006, where he focused on trade policy and international negotiations.
The Department appreciates the efforts by the sponsor, Senator Rob Portman, to work with the National Park Service (NPS) on this legislation.
Thank you, Madam Chairman. Thank you for allowing me to join you today, even though I am not on the subcommittee.
I know this is a result of a lot of years of study saying that the low population density of these fish in carefully selected lakes would not lead to impairment of the park resources.
Yes, I think as the centennial approaches we're looking for ways to ensure that the backlog can be improved, hopefully cleared at a lot of these great facilities.
Senator Portman asked how much of the land involved in three park boundary expansion bills is private, and how much is public.
I do think it's something that would add, in my view, a little more context to that beautiful memorial.
Senator Portman also asked if the three park expansion bills will add to the maintenance backlog.
That plaque or inscription we'd like to see on the World War II memorial would commemorate that prayer.
