We should be voting no on the amendment offered by the majority leader. With that i yield the floor. The presiding officer the senator from tennessee. Mr. Corker i think i understand the frustration expressed by the Ranking Member. I think what has happened, the Ranking Member knows that i worked with him to ensure that when we had this debate we stayed away from those issues that that divided us. He knows that i took multiple tough votes, as did others, to keep things in balance. And there are members of this body that feel like this amendment that youre talking about is one that they would have liked to have expressed themselves on, and since were in a place where it appears that 42 senators are going to keep us from actually being able to go forward with the vote on whether we agree or disagree with this, you and i are in the same place on this, but since that has occurred out of frustration and knowing that there are other members who wanted to express themselves in the way this ne
They act as Emergency Responders with us. The southern ute have been an incredible and incredibly diligent and being embedded in our command center, working on this. The professionalism has been wonderful, so we will make sure they are properly reimbursed for expenses. The 2nd process is the claims process, what damages have it occurred, and we use the federal claims tort act in order to process those claims. How does the federal tort claims act help the navajo . They lost a huge amount of irrigating water which can have longterm devastating effects of drought continues and they do not have the water now or in the future . How can they be made whole .

I want to make sure that we are all aware that the reimbursement process is quite different. While
There was pressure buildup at the Gold King Mine. They made a judgment that turned out to be wrong. Whether constitutes Due Diligence and factors, thats what the department will have to advise us. We will follow up to see if there were mistakes made, if they could have avoided this or if there was other mistakes. Thank you. I read a long and detailed testimony to be offered later he points out concerns about the 3 million gallons but also about whats coming in the years to come and the Navajo Nation will need. Is there any reason to think that this is more than the trigger for this attention . I think it has raised visibility of these issues in a way that im hoping something good can come out of it so we will be better off in terms of how we manage these sites moving forward. Weve been working with the navajo for years. We will continue to do that. We will address concerns that they have identified as best we can. We now know the water may not be at the level it needs to be so that we
Once again, live for a hearing on last months waste water spill at the Gold King Mine in colorado. A couple of house committees this morning will hear testimony on capitol hill from epa Administrator Gina Mccarthy and a number of tribal officials from the Navajo Nation, just one area affected by that spill. The spill contaminated rivers in kol co colorado, new mexico and utah and in the Navajo Nation. Yesterday, Gina Mccarthy testified before a Senate Committee and she defended the epas response to the spill and their cleanup efforts. The epa has suspended cleanup work and site investigations at ten polluted mining complexes in four states because of conditions that are similar to those that led to the spill in colorado. The four sites are in colorado, three in california. A couple in montana and one in missouri. This hearing should get under way in just a moment. This is live coverage on cspan3.
