BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Madam Speaker, H.R. 2008, introduced by our colleague Representative Jim Matheson, would declare as final the cost allocation of $161 million to hydroelectric power generation on the Diamond Fork System in Utah and would defer those costs indefinitely in accordance with section 211 of the Central Utah Project Completion Act of 1992.

H.R. 2008 is a perfect example of a win-win situation. This legislation will facilitate the development of 50 megawatts of clean hydroelectric power while generating revenue for the government for the use of its water facilities. This has been another collaborative effort, and I am very glad that we are able to bring it to the floor.

I ask my colleagues to support the bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT.
