I want to thank General Jackson and the Army Corps team for your work as well, the local folks on the Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project, and our Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, as well those who worked with you on this, for their work on the study.
Larsen expresses gratitude for efforts on the Puget Sound restoration project.

After the Sackett decision, the robust Federal protections for our Nation's waters have been eliminated for more than 50 percent of wetlands and up to 70 percent of streams.
I am disappointed it does not include any of the funding included in the President's disaster supplemental request.
This event was terrifying to all those on board, but thanks to the calm and professional action of Alaska's flight crew, everyone returned to the ground safely.
It just seems to me, returning to a pre-Sackett system of uniform Federal protections would be better than a patchwork approach.
