The Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs, Com- mittee on Veterans’ Affairs, hearing on ‘‘Is the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Cemetery Construction Policy Meeting the Needs of Today’s Veterans and Their Families,’’ will now come to order. I would ask everyone to please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. [Pledge of Allegiance.] Thank you all for coming today. I’m sorry my plane was a little bit delayed, but it’s wonderful to be here in Representative Doug Lamborn’s district. And we’re fortunate to also have Representative Salazar joining us. Without objection, he’s been asked to join us on the dais. The title you’ve just heard, a long but necessary one, ‘‘Is the VA Cemetery Construction Policy Meeting the Needs of Today’s Vet- erans and Their Families,’’ a topic of particular importance to this region and throughout the country. First a couple of preliminaries. I mentioned Congressman John Salazar, from the 3rd District of Colorado and also a Member of the Committee, who is, by unanimous consent, joining us on the dais. Without objection, so ordered. And I would also like to recognize Scott Prestige from the office of Congressman Mark Udall from the 2nd District of Colorado, who is in the audience and has a statement, which I will ask, without objection, if we can enter that into the record also. [The statement of Congressman Udall appears on p. 61.] (1) VerDate Nov 24 2008 05:15 Jan 08, 2009 Jkt 043051 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 E:\HR\OC\A051A.XXX A051A rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 2 So it’s a pleasure to be here with all of you and to bring the Dis- ability Assistance and Memorial Affairs Subcommittee out into the country and actually see people and have them see and speak to us and see how we operate. Congressman Lamborn was kind enough to come to the 19th Dis- trict of New York, where I live, the home of the military academy of West Point and which I am proud to represent. I’m proud and honored also to be in Air Force country, especially since it’s not football season. We’ll be working on that. I’m also pleased to know

A bill introduced Thursday in the U.S. House by Rep. John Salazar, D-Manassa, would create a demonstration "Good Samaritan" project limited to the Animas River watershed. Salazar's bill has a 10-year sunset clause - language that shields public and private parties involved in cleanup from liability, with no requirement to amend the Clean Water Act, according to Bill Simon, coordinator of the Animas River Stakeholders. The Animas River Stakeholders would be a Samaritan under Salazar's bill, which focuses on mines for which there are no known owners or operators to shoulder responsibility for cleanup, Simon said. The group would look to member organizations, mining companies, the federal government and others to pay for cleanup. "It makes a lot of sense," Simon said Friday. "We all agree that we need a Good Samaritan cleanup program, so I think that if we get attention from the right people we have a good chance." Supporters hope the Salazar bill will set an example for what can be done to clean up thousands of mines, most of them abandoned, in the West.
