Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 220 would authorize an expansion of the existing Terror Lake Hydropower project in Alaska to meet increased powder demands from Kodiak Island. The expansion would have to comply with environmental protections required under the Federal Power Act and National Environmental Policy Act. This bill unanimously passed both the House Natural Resources Committee and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. I want to thank Mr. Young for his persuasive presentation both in committee and on the House floor. I fully support the sensible bipartisan legislation and urge my colleagues to vote for it. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
