It’s meant to aid the response community during the initial phase of an oil spill, from the time a spill occurs until a Unified Command is established. The plan prioritizes tactical response strategies based on locations where spills might occur, and the proximity and relative priority of those locations to sensitive natural, cultural, and economic resources. By using this document it’s hoped that immediate and proper action can be taken to reduce oil’s impact on sensitive resources. 5 MIDDLE COLUMBIA RIVER – BONNEVILLE POOL GRP AUGUST 2017 Record of Changes Name of Person Date Change Number Summary of Changes Making Change June MCR-002 Comprehensive review and update of N/A 2002 Chapter 4 May MCR-003 Comprehensive review and update of all N/A 2004 chapters.

State House Salem, Oregon 97301 Testimony on SB 461 of Stuart A. Steinberg, Vietnam Veterans of America, Oregon State Council, Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway Committee Legislators, Witnesses and Other Attending the Hearing: My name is Stuart A. Steinberg. I am the Co-chairman of the committee that seeks to have the bill before you—SB 461—become law and part of Oregon’s great tradition of honoring its veterans. I served in the Army from 1966 – 1971, and was in Vietnam for eighteen months in 1968 -1970. I volunteered to go and then volunteered to extend my tour. In this regard, I was no different than most of the men I was honored to serve with. I was an Explosive Ordnance Disposal operator and was wounded twice. I have the Bronze Star with “V” Device for heroism in ground combat and a second Bronze Star and two Army Commendation Medals Star for meritorious achievement in ground operations against hostile forces. I went to college and law school on the G.I. Bill. Since 1978, I have been an accredited service officer for Vietnam Veterans of America and, over the past 34 years, have assisted at least 2,000 of my fellow veterans, their widows and children, with their claims for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
