| http://sablan.house.gov/press-release/house-leaders-urged-move-water-resources-development-bill | House leaders urged to move on water resources development bill | 2013-11-11 | 2013 | 2013-11 | Independent | Senate | MP | Gregorio Sablan | S001177 | sablan.house.gov | legacy | House leaders urged to move on water resources development bill Nov 11, 2013 I joined Representative Edward Whitfield (R-Kentucky) and 28 of my colleagues in a letter urging Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi (California) to appoint members to the conference committee on the Water Resources Reform and Development Act, so we can get a final vote on the bill. In October, the House passed its version, H.R. 3080, with my provision doubling the waiver of local match requirements for Army Corps projects in the Northern Marianas and other territories. The waiver provision will adjust the $200,000 waiver put in place in 1986 to an amount that reflects inflation since then. The new waiver should be in excess of $400,000, making Army Corps work, like the Garapan-Susupe drainage project, cheaper for the NMI. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
