. >> yesterday garamendi visited there before heading back to washington. >>> a new dam in the east bay with a different kind of spillway that will reduce the need for a major evacuation in the event of a catastrophic failure. the dam at the reservoir straddles the counties. david louie is live there tonight. >> reporter: there's no question that it's a beautiful site but it sits next to the cal ver he is fault. they're building a new dam here and why they've completed a new spillway using modern techniques to avert disaster. you can see from sky 7 that the spillway of the dam looks much different. it's made of concrete, not earthen rock. there's a new dam for the reservoir replacing the original built 92 years ago. the san francisco public utilities commission owns the facility and says downstream residents shouldn't be too concerned by releases. >> our spillway is operated about once every seven years and there has not been downstream flooding as a result of those releases, nor would we expect downstream flooding in almost any release that's foreseeable. >> the reservoir is part of th

garamendi: thank you, mr.s raskin. those are wonderful comments -- mr. raskin. those are wonderful comments and i'm sure they're going to last through the entire 115th congress, because our colleague from kentucky would like to echo many of those. i'd like to yield a couple of minutes to my colleague from kentucky. comb comb thank you, -- mr. comer: thank you for yielding. i'll be brief. i'm so glad to join with 55 other of my freshmen colleagues to pledge the commitment to civility. we all took different paths to get here. we're all from different parts of the united states. we all have different backgrounds and different stories. but one thing we all did to get here in this freshman class is we campaigned hard and we listened to our constituents. and whether our constituents were conservative or liberal, whether they lived in the city or in small towns, they all shared a frustration about congress. they shared the frustration that congress was at gridlock and both party it's fought -- both parties fought and many times people filed bills knowing they would fai

that is why i join congressman garamendi and my colleagues in sending a letter to president trump requesting as the governor has asked a major disaster declaration under the stanford act. a major disaster declaration will provide greater collaboration among local, state, and federal governments and provide immediate resources where they are needed. additionally, we must invest in california's infrastructure needs. its water infrastructure needs to fix the broken water system. the president has proposed a significant massive infrastructure program. $1 trillion. that could be used not only in california but throughout the entire country. we need additional water storage in order to prevent devastating flood conditions as we're having now, and also to store that water so we can have it during the dry conditions. so, two things go hand in hand. there are another series of storms expected this -- later this week and we don't know what, we still have about two months left of our winter season, and therefore we need all hands on deck. we're using every tool available to reduce the potential flood a

garamendi: so very, very true. let me go through some regulations repealed here in the house the last couple of weeks. the congressional review act being used to repeal these regulations has two parts to it. one, the ability of congress to repeal regulations which i think is a good idea. the second part has some real shortcomings and that is, once that regulation has been repealed both houses pass it, the president signs it, then the issue cannot be revisited by any -- by that administrative agency. i gave the example of the b.l.m. but it applies across the board. so regulations that deal with smoking on airplanes. that's a regulation. ok. we repealed that regulation, smoking on airplanes, you can never go back and do a regulation again in that area. mr. khanna: thank you, congressman. mr. garamendi: thank you for joining us, mr. khanna. i'm going to run through a quick list here, oil and gas companies operate around the world, our new secretary of state was the c.o. -- c.e.o. of exxonmobil, the world's biggest oil

garamendi. mr. garamendi: thank you, mr. chairman. gentlemen, thank you so much for your service. i don't know how many of these hearings we have gone to and all this comes down to more money. then somebody mentions sequestration. it seems to me that with the unified control of congress and the administration that if sequestration is a problem then perhaps it could be solved. quickly. nonetheless the money problem is likely to persist. a couple of questions just to follow up on the question about the airmen and the pilots that are necessary. i understand that the air force is now moving to provide or to allow pilots that are not officers to fly certain missions. general wilson, if you could comment on that briefly. is it going to help solve this problem? general wilson: congressman, we think so. we have the initial group of enlisted aviators into our rq-4 global hawk program. we think over the next few years we'll be able to grow it so that a majority of the pilots in the global hawk will be enlisted. we'll learn from that, we'll see if we can take that chample and do that in othe
