Excerpt from Reauthorization of the Water Resources Development Act: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the Committee on Environment and Public Works, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, February 14, 1995
The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 2:30 p.m. in room 406, Senate Dirksen Building, Hon. John W. Warner (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.
Present: Senators Warner, Chafee, Graham, Baucus, Bond, Faircloth, and Reid.
Senator Warner. The subcommittee will come to order.
I am pleased to say that our distinguished chairman, the Senator from Rhode Island, has joined us. Our distinguished former chairman has also joined us and will, of course, serve as the ranking minority member on this subcommittee. I also welcome our distinguished colleague from Florida.
Senator Baucus, it would be my desire to hear this panel, then we hear the Aqueduct panel, and then it would be followed by a panel directed to the other issues. Would that be agreeable?
Senator Baucus. That would be fine.
Senator Warner. I thank you very much.
I'll just give a brief opening statement. Should other Senators desire to do likewise, please seek recognition.
Opening Statement Of Hon. John W. Warner, U.S. Senator From The Commonwealth Of Virginia
Senator Warner. We welcome you. Dr. Zirschky and Gen. Genega.
I join many here in the concern about the modernization needs of the Washington Aqueduct, and we will have a panel to address that issue immediately following the opening testimony.
Let's talk a bit about the Corps of Engineers. Beginning in 1979 and for the following 7 years I sponsored legislation in each Congress to provide for the deepening and maintenance of our deep draft ports. Developing a strong partnership with our non-Federal sponsors through cost-sharing was the cornerstone of my legislation.
In the late 1970's global demand for steam coal skyrocketed, yet the ports of America could not respond to this demand. For example, in my own port of Hampton Roads, ships loaded with coal were lined up as far as the eye could see into the Chesapeake Bay, waiting to enter the coal terminals.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the testimony of professionals from government agencies, the military, academia, and the private sector for a Senate hearing on the Water Resources Development Act. The hearing was convened to discuss budget proposals and policy changes for water resource management, flood plain management, and the operation of the Washington Aqueduct. Discussions center around the costs and benefits of the federal government's involvement in local water resource development projects. Concerns are expressed about the inadequacy of current policies to respond to the human and financial costs of flooding. The book captures the push-and-pull tension between local, state, and federal interests in water resource management. The participating experts also address the need for changes to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' operation of the Washington Aqueduct. This book offers a comprehensive look at the complex issues surrounding water resource management and provides valuable insights for anyone interested in the topic.
