Greg Walden: “I would just say, as somebody who has been involved in these issues…”

On the recordJuly 16, 2015

I would just say, as somebody who has been involved in these issues going back to 1999, I have worked with the tribes. I have worked with irrigators to prove fish passage and to help improve fish health. So I really take offense to the kind of language you are using here on the floor because we have done a lot of good to put fish screens in, to help improve the survivability of the suckers, to put more water aside. We have done a lot of good things. So I welcome you to this House, and I welcome you to work with us on these issues, but I have to tell you it is a little offensive in your comments.

I don't believe I have any other speakers on my side of the aisle on this measure. I urge its passage, and I yield back the balance of my time.
