corps we'll build it. the comment at as many of you know has been very active talking about this in the past. i want to dig down into the force and tell you something's about it. the force that we built is a force that's weighted towards crisis response and for deployed presence. that's a key thing to remember because in every design decision that followed, we came back and look at that. what does it mean for our ability to respond to crises that are going to occur this afternoon that we don't know about this morning? we want to optimize our force to be the force of choice for that requirement. you've got to be forward deployed in order to be that force. if you're not there you cannot react this afternoon. you can't react in six hours, eight hours or even a shorter time for crisis. in doing that we have to take risks. we elected to take risk in major combat operations. the high incapable of the range of military operations. and in long-term stability operations. so when i talk about the range of military o

young: again, the corps has been good but they're expanding. they just spent money instead of on solving a problem on a u.a.v., they spent $2.3 million on aat -- yacht. -- on a yacht. there's no reason for that, mr. chairman. there's no reason, doesn't keep them from surveying, doesn't keep them from account crthing but i don't expand this program. we have another government agency and we're trying to save money, we're allowing the ex -- i know how these things go. they'll start buying more and more and we'll spend and say, we don't have the contract anymore. mr. chairman, with all due respect, you know that's true. i've watched these agencies. as chairman of this committee i've watched them and tried to stop them. this is not the time to spend money foolishly. we have the contractors out there. let's use them where they're available. let's not let them build a machine within the corps of engineers themselves. keep that in mind. you ought to take -- adopt this amendment. i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back

army corps of engineers. it is a bipartisan bill that was developed by working across the aisle to achieve a common goal of investing in america's future. h.r. 3080 contains no earmarks. cuts federal red tape, streamlines project delivery process, and strengthens our water transportation networks to promote competitiveness, prosperity, and economic growth. h.r. 3080 is a jobs bill. $1.4 trillion worth of goods associated with 30 million jobs in international trade are impacted. thousands of jobs are created and supported by the construction and maintenance of our waterways of locks and dams. this bill is fiscally responsible by more than fully off setting new project authorizations with dee authorizations of old inactive projects. this bill establishes a path forward for enacting a wrrda bill every two years without conceding any congressional authority to the executive branch. this committee held numerous listening session, round tables, and official hearings in developing the legislation. we have heard from

the corps has been a good partner. but the corps' often ham strung by the laws that this congress has put in place and by the implementation of those laws by administrations, both republican and democrat. this bill, mr. speaker, reclaims to this house for both sides of the aisle the authority to direct the projects of the corps of engineers. not through earmarks, mr. speaker, but by recognizing that constitutional responsibility that we have to our constituents back home, to decide where those dollars are spent, how those projects are prioritized, rather than punting on that issue this bill reserves those powers rightfully to this house and to this congress. mr. speaker, this bill is not everything that i would like for it to be. candidly, in three years in serving in in thisky congress i have yet to see a bill that is like for it ould to be, but i know this bill is a step in the right direction, a step that we can take and a step that we must take. i thank my friend from florida for his leadership on the issue, for hi

, to change the way the corps does business. otherwise, we can waste a lot of money and inflict unnecessary environmental damage. one of the ways the corps meets its environmental responsibilities is by compliance with the national environmental policy act, nepa, signed into law on new year's day in 1970 by president richard nixon. an official with the georgia department of transportation shared with georgia legislators president nixon's observation that clean air, clean water, open space should be the birthright of every american. through our years of past carelessness, we incurred a debt to nature that is now being called. mr. bowman told the legislators that 43 years later the price tag is even higher, some problems remain and daunting challenges loom but that nepa's impact is unquestionable. it remains the nation's guiding environmental star. he observes that environmental needs and protecting the environment are not mutually excluesively and it's important to work together to achieve those objectives. sadly for me, the most

the american army corps broke ground on hanford plant in 1943 and kgb generals broke ground in 1946 on the soviet plant. first they thought they're going to build for militarize labor and this is a picture of the first residential camp at hanford that house 60,000 construction workers who were there to build the plant. they called it camp hanford. it at all the charms of a minimum security prison. but also at all the social problems. single migrant workers fought and stole and raped and murdered, it was heavily guarded. this is a fiction -- a picture of the women's section. you could almost see -- the guards are there. you could see a woman carrying a package. they are there to keep the women say from the men who were running around trying to rape them. this is the kind of place it was. despite a very good pay, people hated camp hanford. at the peak of construction in 1944, hundreds of workers walked off the job every day. there's a lot of talk about the labor crisis during his bid. and get enough workers it says in the documents. i looked into it. there were plenty of workers. 100,000
