Link to Opening Statement
Thank you, Madam Chairman, for holding this oversight hearing on water security. I look forward to hearing from our witnesses about the steps that EPA and the states have taken since we passed the 2002 Bioterrorism Act. I know that many of our facilities are much safer as a result of our actions here, but there is still more that can be done. As I noted in our December drinking water oversight hearing, there is one thing that everyone in this room can agree on, that having clean, safe, affordable water is a national priority.
