Press Release

Location: U.S. Senate
Issues: Environment

"Congress -- and Congress alone -- can change the authorized purposes of federal dams and determine their future. Recent history has shown repeatedly that Congress is unwilling to drastically alter the operations of the Columbia River system or remove the lower Snake River dams. Recent salmon return numbers underscore that the policies implemented by past administrations--Democrat and Republican--are working.

Rather than focusing attention on controversial proposals that won't be implemented by Congress or plans that have buy-in from only a limited portion of those who rely on the river system, we urge you to return to efforts that build on regional consensus, are grounded in science, and can be supported and implemented by Congress."
