ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS AND BUREAU OF RECLAMATION WITNESSES R.D. JAMES, ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE ARMY FOR CIVIL WORKS TIMOTHY PETTY, ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR WATER AND SCIENCE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR LIEUTENANT GENERAL TODD SEMONITE, COMMANDING GENERAL AND CHIEF OF ENGINEERS BRENDA BURMAN, COMMISSIONER, BUREAU OF RECLAMATION Mr. SIMPSON. Good morning. I would like to call this hearing to order. And welcome to our first hearing of the fiscal year 2019 budget season. It seems a little strange doing the 2019 hearings, when we haven’t finished 2018 yet, but I don’t know if any of your testimony today would change depending on what happens in 2018. Anyway, today’s hearing will review the budget request for the Civil Works Program for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation. Before we turn to the Budget request, though, I would like to take a moment to congratulate our ranking member, Ms. Kaptur. On Sunday she will become the longest-serving female Member of the House of Representatives. As we have worked on this committee, I have come to see that she is a passionate advocate for her constituents in her home State of Ohio. They have been lucky to have her in Congress, these many years. So, Marcy, congratulations on a remarkable accomplishment, and I look forward to continue our work together, as you extend your record-setting tenure here in the House. (Applause.) Ms. KAPTUR. Thank you. Mr. SIMPSON. I would like to welcome our witnesses, most of whom are appearing before our subcommittee for the first time. Mr. R.D. James is the Assistant Secretary for the Army, for Civil Works; Lieutenant General Todd Semonite, is the Commanding General and Chief of Engineers; Dr. Timothy Petty is the Assistant Secretary for Water and Science at the Department of Interior, and knows something about Idaho, having worked for Senator Risch.

I look forward to hearing from each of you on this budget re- quest, and learning more about the priorities included in this pro- posal and how it will address the nation’s water resource needs. The Bureau of Reclamation and the Corps of Civil Works Pro- grams, include a wide variety of water resources and power activi- ties essential to the public’s safety, economic and environmental goals of our nation. That is why it is disappointing to see such limited budget re- quests for these agencies year after year. It doesn’t matter whether it is a Republican or Democratic administration, OMB cuts these budgets knowing Congress will provide additional funds, and I think it is safe to say, we will provide additional funds again this year from the budget recommendations. The Corps and Reclamation would be much better positioned to advance projects and studies quickly and at a lower cost if there was an ability to plan ahead. OMB’s unrealistic budget restrictions, however, force the agencies to focus on smaller increments of work, with no assurances of future funding. Congress on the other hand, clearly recognizes the importance of both these programs as evidenced by funding levels provided in re- cent fiscal years, I expect this committee will once again work to develop an appropriations bill that provides strong support for these programs, that strikes a good balance across mission areas, including navigation, flood and storm damage reductions, environ- mental restoration, hydropower and water supply delivery. Again, I would like to welcome our witnesses to the sub- committee. I would ask all of you to please ensure that the hearing record, questions for the record, and any supporting information re- quested by the subcommittee are delivered in the final form to us no later than four weeks from the time you receive them. Members who have additional questions for the record, will have until the close of business on Monday to provide them to the sub- committee office. And with that, I will turn to my ranking member, Ms. Kaptur for any opening remarks that she may have. Ms. KAPTUR. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you for your kind remarks. And chairman of our full committee, Congressman Frelinghuysen, a dear, dear friend, it is a great pleasure to serve with you, and to steward this country during our tenure here. We welcome our witnesses this morning; Assistant Secretary James, General Semonite, Assistant Secretary Petty, and Commis- sioner Burman. Thank you so much for being here today to discuss the administration’s fiscal year 2019 budget request. We appreciate your appearing before our subcommittee. You collectively represent the water part of our Energy and Water bill. What an important piece it is. As the administration ponders investing in infrastructure, I be- lieve you have an extraordinary opportunity to lead the way for the nation, and hopefully you will be able to address the $96 billion construction backlog over 454 authorized active construction projects, which include $20 billion in dam safety. Personally, I be- VerDate Sep 11 2014 22:34 Oct 19, 2018 Jkt 032414 PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A414P2.XXX A414P2 amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with REPORTS(2) 3 lieve the President should start there, with his infrastructure ini- tiative. For any new infrastructure bill, I believe we must prioritize resil- ient infrastructure, and find innovative solutions that incorporate environmental components of a new age. Adequate maintenance of existing projects and new investments in green infrastructure, when combined with strategic regional and urban planning and policies to allow us to stay ahead of the water challenges that lay before our nation as we experience more ex- treme precipitation events, both droughts and inundations. In Ohio, my part of our country, we are experiencing surges of excess rainfall, which are exacerbating our nutrient runoff problem at historic levels, and causing massive algal blooms. At the blooms’ peak this past summer, over 1,000 square miles of Lake Erie were covered in the green slime, threatening our maritime industry. In the West, water flow into the Colorado River this year is fore- cast to be just 54 percent of the typically expected amount. Today, Lake Mead is at 40 percent of capacity, and if the water drops just 13 more feet, it will trigger Federal rules that cut the amount of water supply to Nevada, Arizona and California. Yet, in 2016, the most recent data, those states combined increase their population by 431,000 persons. Texas dealt with rain in a class of its own during Hurricane Har- vey where 60 inches of rain, a trillion gallons of water, enough to fill the Houston Astrodome more than 3,300 times over, fell in just a few short days. The Corps was forced into a terrible situation, released water from the Addicks and Barker dams near Houston, or risk cata- strophic dam failure.

  • Pets Are Popular with U.S. Presidents
    Pets Are Popular With U.S. Presidents Most people have heard by now that President-elect Barack Obama promised his two daughters a puppy if he were elected president. Obama called choosing a dog a “major issue” for the new first family. It seems that pets have always been very popular with U.S. presidents. Only two of the 44 presidents -- Chester A. Arthur and Franklin Pierce -- left no record of having pets. Many presidents and their children had dogs and cats in the White House. President and Mrs. Bush have two dogs and a cat living with them -- the dogs are named Barney and Miss Beazley and the cat is India. But there have been many unusual presidential pets as well. President Calvin Coolidge may have had the most pets. NEWS WORD BOX He had a pygmy hippopotamus, six dogs, a bobcat, a goose, a donkey, a cat, two lion cubs, an antelope, and popular issue record wallaby a wallaby. President Herbert Hoover had several dogs pygmy hippopotamus and his son had two pet alligators, which sometimes took walks outside the White House. Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, had a pony named Macaroni. She would ride Macaroni around the White House grounds. Some pets also worked while at the White House. Pauline the cow was the last cow to live at the White House. She provided milk for President William Taft. To save money during World War I, President Woodrow Wilson brought in a flock of sheep to trim the White House lawn. The flock included a ram named Old Ike.

We agree. In order for us to conduct a fair and nonpartisan process, we must hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethical conduct as we continue proceedings to consider the election contests before our Committee. We write to bring to your attention to a serious conflict of interest regarding Marc Elias, an attorney with the law firm Perkins Coie. In the election contests currently before us, Mr. Elias simultaneously represents Members of the Committee, the triers of fact and law, and parties to these contests, an arrangement clearly prohibited by attorney ethics rules and obligations. See Notice of Contest Regarding Election for Representative in the One Hundred Seventeenth Congress from Iowa’s Second Congressional District; Contestee’s Motion to dismiss Contestant’s Notice of Contest Regarding the Election for Representative in the 117th Congress from Illinois’ fourteenth Congressional District.

  • White House “Tails”
    White House “Tails” Pets of the First Families he nine papier-mâché figures representing the beloved pets of some our nation’s First Families, T were first used by First Lady Laura Bush in her 2002 White House Christmas entitled All Creatures Great and Small. Florists and calligraphers, part of the regular White House staff, were called upon to create over 20 of the special ornaments that represented pets ranging from the ordinary to very extraordinary. Most First Families owned pets when they took up residence in the Executive Mansion, and occasionally more creatures great and small were acquired during each President’s administration. Many pets were gifts to the First Families from other countries. Some gifts, like the Russian dog, Pushinka, lived in the White House. Other more exotic ones were given to the National Zoo. Goats, cows, sheep, and horses that lived at the White House were working animals. Other animals just wandered onto to lawn of the White House or into the mansion itself and were either “adopted” or evicted by members of the First Families. Regardless of how the pets arrived or how long they remained with the Presidential families, each of their stories is fun and historic. The National First Ladies’ Library is proud to share with our guests the opportunity to see nine of the pet ornaments. We are aware of the distinct honor of hosting our “White House guests” and sincerely thank President George W. Bush for this rare loan of historic White House artifacts. Barney Bush Birth: September 30, 2000 in New Jersey Address: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C.
