Recently, I sat in on a hearing improve net farm income, achieve better economic where once again the majority’s ideas did not match those of the American opportunities and enhance the quality of life for all. people. As a member of the House Committee on Transportation and KFB OFFICERS Mark Haney President Infrastructure, I attended a hearing on the 37th Anniversary of the passage John C. Hendricks 1st Vice President of the Clean Water Act. This legislation has brought about significant Eddie Melton 2nd Vice President changes in water quality across the country and implemented a system of David S. Beck Executive Vice President federal and state regulation over water pollution. KFB DIRECTORS However, Congress is now preparing for the introduction of the Clean Randall Heath Hickory Water Restoration Act, which includes numerous proposals to increase the Tripp Furches Murray scope of the Clean Water Act and severely hinder the daily lives of millions Kelly Thurman Livermore Eddie Melton Sebree of Americans. Steve Bolinger Pembroke The most troubling provision would change the phrase “navigable J.

Alex Barnett Cynthiana I strongly oppose removing the word “navigable” from the Clean Water David McGlone Grayson Carroll Amyx Campton Act and will join my colleagues in rejecting the Clean Water Restoration Charlie Benge London Act when it comes before the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
