Mr. Speaker, today, I submit to the House bipartisan\nlegislation, the ``San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act,''\nwhich implements an historic water settlement to resolve an 18-year\nlawsuit to restore a salmon fishery on the San Joaquin River.\n  The settlement legislation achieves two coequal goals: it restores\nthe San Joaquin River and secures water management objectives to\nmitigate water losses to farmers in the restoration process. These two\nelements are crucial to the success the Act, and they are to be\nimplemented in tandem.\n  The main reason I became involved in this issue last year was to\nensure a stable water supply for Valley farmers. With that premise, the\nprovisions in this measure were designed to make certain that water\nsupply levels will remain manageable for farmers as the river is\nrestored. It was also important to me that impacts to third parties, if\nany, be minimal and voluntary and the negotiators worked hard to create\nsuch language.\n  The landmark bill introduced today gives the people of our Valley a\nsay in how the river is restored, as opposed to waiting for an\nuncertain outcome from the Federal court. This solution is science-\nbased and included involvement from individuals throughout the Valley,\nthe State and Federal agencies.\n  The significance of this bill cannot be understated. Over the past\nyear and a half, countless hours have been spent in developing this\nmeasure, and I commend all those involved in this balanced resolution.\nI especially want to express my appreciation to the Friant Water Users\nAuthority, Natural Resources Defense Council, Department of Interior,\nDepartment of Justice, the Department of Commerce and numerous third\nparties who were involved in the development of this bill.\n  I also thank Senator Feinstein, who has introduced an identical bill\nin the Senate, for her steadfast commitment to this measure along with\nthe members of the Valley delegation.\n  I'm dedicated to the passage of this measure in Congress and will\nwork toward that end until it is signed into law.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2006-12-08-pt1-PgE2136-3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 20.74658893980086, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
