that is roughly $400 per month.

I am certainly going to be sharing many of these ideas with my colleagues as we wrestle with this nationally.

Furthermore, as Senator Warren and people have mentioned, they really understand just the magnitude of the impact of that over a lifetime, particularly with this, you know, compounding.

this is not just an issue for the individual person, but it is an issue for our national economy.

Theodore Roosevelt said: Of all the questions which can come before this Nation, short of the actual preservation of its existence in a great war, there is none which compares in importance with the great central task of leaving this land…

I appreciate so much the comments of my colleague from Maine, bringing his insights and his expertise through the years and his stories about how the land and waters of his home State are being impacted and our responsibilities to the…

We cannot wait for 2 or 3 or 4 years to act. The carbon pollution is real and the damage is real. It is time for this Chamber to act. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Connecticut.

I am thrilled that we are here at this moment debating benefits for our veterans. Our veterans have stood up for America by fighting for us overseas, and when they come home we need to be standing up for them. Over time we have come to…

S. 1771 marks the end of over 30 years of fighting over the unallocated water behind Bowman Dam.

This issue of managing the water has been going on for decades, 4 decades, 40 years.

This bill strikes a compromise across a broad range of stakeholders in the region, and enjoys the support of the local irrigation districts, fishing groups, conservation groups, Crook County, the Warm Springs Tribe, the City of Prineville…

The bill strikes a balance between providing certainty to the agricultural community... but also to release water to maintain healthy runs of steelhead salmon.

The bill will create economic opportunity in the region by providing the City of Prineville with greater access to groundwater, which will meet their growing municipal water needs.

I'd like to thank Subcommittee Chairman Schatz, and Ranking Member Lee, as well as other members of the Subcommittee for inviting me to give remarks today on a bill both Senator Wyden and I have worked hard on for several years now.

I would like to particularly thank Senator Wyden for dedicating so much of his time and effort to negotiating a historic agreement that has garnered such broad support in Oregon.

this is another chapter and a new opportunity to change this story of fundamental just and fairness.

Should the Federal Reserve be using these powers in reaction to this type of criminal behavior?

we cannot even get more than 1 percent of the names of folks, and yet it is up to our regulatory agencies to decide whether and how a bank participates in the U.S. economy.

I'm a proud co-sponsor of that bill.

I am writing to express our strong support for S. 1771, Crooked River Collaborative Water Security Act

Trout Unlimited supports S. 1771--a bill designed to improve water management at Bowman Dam.

The bill will also allow for retrofitting the Bowman Dam to generate hydroelectric power, which will create jobs as well as clean power for the region.

I think this is a very important project, that we pursue renewal of MAP-21.

If our States have to delay projects, that of course results in much higher costs.

We anticipate that we would have a challenge, we would lose about 5,000 jobs in Oregon if we don't succeed in this effort during 2015.
