Jeff Merkley actually said...

By the Corps' own data, Oregon has nearly 200 communities and 24 counties with levees that will need recertification.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and thank you all for your testimony today to highlight the importance of these projects.

I can hardly go to a town hall and not have someone speak about the challenges to the community from the recertification process.

I am certainly not satisfied that we have a strategy to address those recertifications.
