Present: Senators Alexander, Cochran, Shelby, Murkowski, Hoeven, Kennedy, Feinstein, Tester, Udall, Shaheen, Merkley, and Coons. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE-CIVIL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS-CIVIL STATEMENT OF HON. TODD T. SEMONITE, LIEUTENANT GENERAL, COMMANDING GENERAL AND CHIEF OF ENGINEERS OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR LAMAR ALEXANDER Senator ALEXANDER. The Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, please come to order. Today's hearing will review the President's fiscal year 2018 budg- et request for the Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Rec- lamation, which is part of the Department of the Interior. This is the subcommittee's fourth and final budget hearing. We are doing our best to get to the head of the line among those sub- committees that have appropriations work to do. Senator Feinstein and I will each have an opening statement. This gives me an opportunity to express, Senator, once again, how much I value the relationship we have, and the way we are able to work together with our staffs, who also work together to produce legislation that is good for this country. So I thank her for her lead- ership and her professionalism. I will then ask each Senator, who is here, for up to five minutes for an opening statement after Senator Feinstein and I do. We will turn to our witnesses, then, to present testimony on behalf of the Corps and the Bureau each. We would like to ask each of you to keep your testimony to about five minutes, which will give us time to ask questions. Then I will give Senators an opportunity to ask five minutes of questions each. We should have enough time for all the Senators to ask questions.
