Remarks

It is my pleasure to welcome Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, Robyn Colosimo, and Chief of Engineers and Commanding General of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Lieutenant General Butch Graham, to discuss the Fiscal Year 2026 budget request for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. I am equally pleased to welcome Senior Advisor to the Secretary, Scott Cameron, to discuss the request for the Bureau of Reclamation and Central Utah Project.

We scheduled this hearing with the expectation that we would have the full budget request for these critical programs. I appreciate the challenge facing any new administration in submitting a timely budget request to Congress; however, we cannot do our work without those details. I hope we can expect that information soon, so we can begin the important work of funding our nation’s water resource development programs.
