Dan Newhouse

Thank you for your leadership and the work you do with the men and women of the Coast Guard as they carry out their mission.

2018 was our most secure election so far, and that is a great statement to be able to make.

You are expressing some frustration, some of the systemic problems and operational challenges that FEMA has.

I thank Mr. Biggs for sharing his thoughts on the direction that this would take our Nation and the dangerous path it would lead us upon. Those are things that we need to make sure that we don't allow happen, and I think the American…

I want to thank the gentleman from Minnesota for expressing so eloquently how Americans around the country would be affected by this if this legislation was adopted into law. People from different parts of the country with extreme weather…

I will just add my two cents in support of the program as well.

I am certainly interested in seeing that, and I think that would be interesting for a lot of people to see.

I would like to talk to you more about the use or the non-use of dynamic scoring.

What kind of impact could we see with an additional $750,000 for this program

Only Congress can authorize the breaching of federal dam, no governor can do that

We have a lot of interest in this issue, as you can tell. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Crawford).

I have a couple more speakers, yes. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

I appreciate the good gentleman from Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. King).

Our military is not involved in hostilities surrounding the Yemeni civil war. As I said, tomorrow we are having a briefing that if we learn things, we can respond with urgency and nimbleness. To speak on this issue further, I yield 2…

I would just like to say that my farmers and ranchers in the State of Washington, as well as we have heard earlier from the State of Oregon, do support the strengthening of the provisions in this bill to make sure that the farm economy can…

We all look forward to the classified briefing that we will be a part of tomorrow with the Department of Defense and others to talk about the situation in Yemen. It seems premature to make decisions regarding that issue at this present…

We can indeed balance economic prosperity as well as the environmental stewardship. Fish and dams can co-exist.

H.R. 3144, the legislation introduced by Representative McMorris Rodgers and I to provide certainty and reliability for the Federal river power system.

I have worked very hard in my short time in Congress to support the Bonneville Power Administration and public power as a whole.

I have a letter here from the Tri-Cities Legislative Council, writing with their support for H.R. 3144.

I cannot believe that that would be in the best interest of anyone who is interested in supporting our environment.

I would also like to thank all of you for providing your testimony this morning. It was very informative.

I will continue to implore our Senators Cantwell and Murray to help stop the spill orders, to protect and to save our dams.

It is not certain that dams now cause higher mortality than would arise in a free-flowing river.

Thank you, Chairman Lamborn. Thank you, Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers, both of you, for being here today.
