"This amendment has strong bipartisan support—Senator Thune, Senator Heitkamp, Senator Baucus, and Senator Johnson. This does not affect the master manual on the Missouri River or any of the authorized uses, and I wanted to emphasize that."

"I might also just add that this similar bill was passed last year in the Senate. It did not get a hearing in the House. The same, a companion bill, has been introduced again in the Senate this year by Senator Hoeven and cosponsored by Senator Heitkamp. It has bipartisan support in the Senate. It has passed the committee over there. It has not gotten to the floor yet."

"I have enjoyed working with Congressman Peterson on flood diversion efforts, including retention, which he cares a lot about, and we did get some funding for that. I was able to get funding in the farm bill today to help with that. I have also worked with Senator Hoeven, Senator Heitkamp, and Senator Franken on this long-term project to have actual permanent solutions to our flooding project in Fargo and Moorhead."

"This is a very important issue that Senator Heitkamp has experience with, and I would ask her to share her comments with our colleagues. I also want to say yet again how grateful, and lucky, we are to be working with Senator Heitkamp on this issue. She has been working to solve this problem for even longer than I have, and I want to ask her for her thoughts on the legislation."

"Mr. President, in the closing 10 minutes, the four proponents who will speak will be first Senator Heitkamp of North Dakota, followed by Senator Alexander of Tennessee, myself, and then Senator Enzi of Wyoming, who has for 11 years been fighting for this vote. I want him to have the last word."
