Let us thank God for the impact Tom Foley had on this world.

Well, it seems like a commonsense approach in starting to break down some of the silos that so often are difficult for us.

We often tell the positive story of hydropower and how it transformed Washington State, the whole Columbia Basin project in many ways.

OK, so we will keep working to get hydropower listed. OK. We will keep working on that.

In eastern Washington, hydro plays a foundational role, whether it is conventional, small, conduit, hydro.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I wanted to direct my questions to Mr. Munro, and thanks again for making the trip from Washington State to be here.

I didn't see hydropower listed.

We have really been talking to the administration about having hydropower as part of the overall solution.

Bottom line, we are running out of time and we have to start making it happen.

the FDA can either help make it happen or the FDA can close the doors to an entire industry

I am hopeful that the courts are actually going to rule in favor of enforcing the law.

I guess what that approach ignores is the consent decree that has already been agreed upon with the Federal Government.

I too am struggling with the long list of regulations that have been proposed by the EPA administration this year.

We need to put the land back to work. We need to put our counties back to work.

The utterly unreasonable effect of this law is now impoverishing millions of people in western communities, devastating the agricultural sector of our economy and threatening all of us with permanent water shortages, higher energy costs…
