GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP ENERGY AND WATER DEVELOPMENT APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009 THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2008 U.S. SENATE, SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, Washington, DC. The subcommittee met at 9:30 a.m., in room SD-124, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Byron L. Dorgan (chairman) pre- siding. Present: Senators Dorgan, Murray, Johnson, Landrieu, Reed, Domenici, Bennett, Craig, and Bond. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE-CIVIL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS-CIVIL STATEMENT OF HON. JOHN PAUL WOODLEY, JR., ASSISTANT SEC- RETARY OF THE ARMY FOR CIVIL WORKS OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR BYRON L. DORGAN Senator DORGAN. We'll call the hearing to order. This is a hear- ing of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water De- velopment. This is a hearing on the fiscal year 2009 budget request for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclama- tion. I want to say to my colleagues and to the witnesses, as well, that we have three votes in the Senate starting-I believe-at 10:45, which means we would have to leave the room here about 5 till 11. My hope is that we can finish this hearing in about an hour and a half, otherwise we will need about a 40 to 45 minute recess dur- ing those votes. So, I'm going to truncate my opening remarks, and I only point that out-not to disadvantage anybody-but hope that perhaps we can complete the hearing in an hour and a half. Today the subcommittee will take testimony on the budget for 2009 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Department of In- terior. Testifying for the Corps will be John Paul Woodley, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, as well as Lieutenant Gen- eral Robert L. Van Antwerp, Chief of Engineers for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. (1)
