I just want to underscore, I think what both of them mentioned was truly the bipartisan nature of the committee.

One overriding question that I will probably ask all of you to think about, the chairman has been very clear to everybody that is coming before us to anticipate us not being able to honor requests fully.

I am all for preservation, don't get me wrong, I really am, but I am just trying to make sure we have the information to make the right decision.

I think I heard that the race discrimination claims are going down?

We are continually seeking to implement what I call mutually beneficial Tribal settlements.

I appreciate you being here this afternoon with us.

This is our responsibility that we can deliver water in a wet year but also in a dry year.

Nobody in this Congress, no district, is more dependent on Yucca Mountain as Washington State's 4th.
