OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. TIM HOLDEN, A REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS FROM PENNSYLVANIA The CHAIRMAN. This hearing of the Subcommittee on Conserva- tion, Credit, Energy, and Research to review the administration and delivery of conservation programs will come to order. I would like to thank our witnesses and guests for coming today. This hearing presents an opportunity for Members of the Sub- committee to review how USDA administers conservation programs and the delivery system that is in place for providing technical as- sistance to producers. The Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Farm Serv- ice Agency, through the authority of this Committee and the farm bill, currently administer over 20 programs to assist producers and landowners who wish to practice conservation on agricultural lands. Early conservation efforts were focused on reducing high lev- els of soil erosion, addressing water quality and quantity issues, but have since evolved and expanded to address other natural re- sources concerns, such as wildlife, habitat, air quality, wetlands restoration and protection, energy efficiency, and sustainable agri- culture. Throughout this period of growth, one thing has become clear: Technical assistance is a crucial component

  • Mccain and Obama Could Both Help Alabama Congressional Candidates
    al.com's Printer-Friendly Page Page 1 of 2 McCain and Obama could both help Alabama congressional candidates Sunday, November 02, 2008 By BRIAN LYMAN Capital Bureau MONTGOMERY - Alabama will probably go for John McCain in Tuesday's presidential election, observers say, but Barack Obama's presence on the ballot might help Democrats in three competitive congressional races. Reflecting the unusual dynamics of the national race this year, experts say both candidates could have coattails for down-ballot nominees. Observers say McCain's likely landslide in Alabama will help Republicans, but that increased registration among Democratic-leaning black voters should aid Democrats on the ticket. A SurveyUSA poll published Oct. 29 showed McCain leading in Alabama 61 percent to 39 percent. "In a presidential election, Republican voters are going to come out and vote anyway," said Bruce Oppenheimer, a political science professor at Vanderbilt University. "Even if not enthused, they're going to come out and vote. "(But) there's a clear feeling nationally that ironically, Obama may be helping (Democratic) candidates," even if Obama loses the state to McCain, Oppenheimer said. In north Alabama's 5th Congressional District, Democrat Bud Cramer is retiring. State Sen. Parker Griffith, D-Huntsville, is squaring off against Republican Wayne Parker. Meanwhile, Democrat Bobby Bright, the mayor of Montgomery, is running neck-and-neck with Republican state Rep. Jay Love of Montgomery to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Terry Everett, a Republican, in the 2nd Congressional District, a GOP stronghold since 1964. Montgomery attorney Joshua Segall, a Democrat, is also mounting a campaign against U.S.
