Link to Opening Statement
Thank you, Madam Chairman, for holding this hearing, and thank you to all the witnesses for joining us this morning. We’ve been trying to hold this hearing for several months now, and I’m happy it’s finally happening. The Chairman and I have worked together to develop a Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2010, but it looks like we are not going to have enough time to finish it this Congress. I hope to continue working in a bipartisan fashion to ensure we pass a WRDA next year.
