The Subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:09 a.m., in the Palm Desert Multi-Agency Library Community Room, College of the Desert, Palm Desert, California, Hon. John T. Doolittle (chair- man of the Subcommittee) presiding. Members present: Representatives Doolittle and Calvert. Also present: Representatives Brown, Hunter, Lewis, and Bono. Staff present: Robert Faber, Staff Director/Counsel. Mr. DOOLITTLE. The Subcommittee on Water and Power will come to order. Part of the thrill of having a field hearing is that we have these interesting situations with the logistics. In conjunction with that, ladies and gentlemen, although this is a Federal hearing, we're on state property and subject to the state fire regulations, and the people blocking the door back there are in violation of this code. We apologize for not having a bigger facility, but we're glad to have this kind of interest. A speaker is in the process of being set up out there in the lobby, but I'll have to ask that we can only have lined up one person deep along the walls. You're fine, but those in the back are going to have to clear that door, in order to be in compliance. So I would ask those of you who cannot find a space against the wall if you will go out there into the lobby. Hopefully, they've got a speaker set up so that you can hear the hearing, but we cannot have the door blocked, and I would ask those of you standing there to give way and go out into the foyer, so that we can be ready to go through the hearing. The Subcommittee is meeting today to hear testimony concerning Salton Sea stabilization and water quality improvement. I would like to commend Mr. Calvert for his efforts to bring this issue to my attention. Frankly, to get peace, I had to agree to yield and have a hearing here. So he did a good job in making that pos- sible. He's a wonderful member of our Subcommittee, in addition to being chairman of his own Subcommittee, within the Science Committee of the House. I realize that this is an issue of great importance to all of the members of the Salton Sea Task Force, and I want to welcome them in participating with the Subcommittee this morning. (1) 2 Mr. Calvert, of course isÐall of these gentlemen, except for me, are local representatives of the area. I want to especially express my appreciation to Mr. Bono and his staff for their assistance in providing logistical support to this hearing. And, of course we have with us today the co-chairmen of the Salton Sea Task Force, Mr. Bono and Mr. Hunter. Then, as fate would have it, in addition to being distinguished local representatives, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Brown are the respective deans of the California Republican and the California congressional delegations. So you have a good group of influential people to help you solve this problem. Before we get further into the hearing, I would like to recognize the presence of State Senator Dave Kelley and Assemblyman Jim Battin, local representatives in the state legislature, and invite them, if they would care to step

This federal legislation established a six-year payment formula for counties, such as Placer, that receive revenue sharing payments for the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands. Based on historical timber receipts, the formula established a stable source of revenue to be used for education, county roads and various other county services and programs in rural areas. During this six-year period, the amount of this funding to Placer County totaled nearly $9.9 million.

Skirting campaign finance laws. Adultery and sexual harassment. CREW has spent the past five years shining a spotlight on the extensive violations of the public trust committed by members of Congress. After publishing five “Most Corrupt Members of Congress” reports, it’s clear that the system for holding accountable those members of Congress who sacrifice the public interest for special interests is not working. Whether members take bribes, violate gift rules, or flout campaign finance regulations, those charged with enforcement look the other way. Over the past five years, CREW has uncovered more than 425 instances of potential violations of ethics rules by no fewer than 56 members of Congress. Of those, 37 members have never been investigated by any of the congressional ethics bodies, and 26 “Most Corrupt” members continue to serve in Congress. Because of that, this year, CREW is naming the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics to its “Most Corrupt” list, for standing by and allowing members of Congress to break the rules with impunity.
