"Our bill takes a number of important steps to protect the American economy, our natural resources, and the safety of communities threatened by wildfires and earthquakes," said Rep. Calvert. "I'm especially pleased that the committee voted to include much needed provisions to address California's water challenges. My California Republican colleagues and I are committed to advancing these water solutions in any possible legislative vehicle."
