What im curious about is that if ths is an independent review and we are assuming that thats the way youve set it up to be most certainly there would have been a contract or documentation as to what the expectations were.

We need to make future disasters like this less likel ar while resources like oil, natural gas, and coal all pay royalties to return of fate value to taxpayers, hard rxak Mining Companies can still mind valuable roles for free.

My father and my mothers father father both made a living in this industr ar the industry continues to prfouide good paying jobs throughout the west. Passing long, overdue reform to our federal mining law, which has nyou been updated since 182 is critical if we want to address the root cause of this disaster. Thank you senator heidrick and for all have come to expre

In order to truly get at drug trafficking, gun trafficking, organized crime which, of course, is always at the top of our agenda. And id like to ask you in that regard about the socalled midira initiative. Which is charged with disrupting criminal organizations, strengthening institutions in mexico, improving stability in the surrounding communities. Does that sound like what the madeira finiifinisinitiative is . Weve been work iing with mexico extensively since 2008. Weve invest ed about 1. 4 billion in trying to secure the situation in mexico by working with the Mexican Government and we have seen areas where we have made progress. Our Law Enforcement officials, military officials can work with mexican counterparts to give them advice, to lend assistance when they need it to provide training wh

A favorite place for me is is the hotel thats right on the banks of the animas river, the double tree there in durango. If you get a room on the back, you open up the doors, and you can hear the river going by. There is nothing quite like it. Let me first say, as mr. Corra was saying, this community is open for business. Theres lots to do in the winter and the summer months. People shouldnt take the long lesson from what were trying to do here. You said this wok us up. In southwest colorado, thats the heart of the issue Going Forward. We need to clean up the water from preventing future blowouts.
