JAMES A. McCLURE, A U.S. The CHAIRMAN. Good morning. As we begin to review this legislation, I want to enunciate this Senator's initial thoughts in the spirit of cooperation and fairness for all interested members and affected parties. Coal slurry pipelines may add an important additional dimension to this Nation's coal transportation capabilities. Any legislative initiative, however, must be assessed and scrutinized most closely and carefully in the area of Federal-State relations, which must be involved in any proposed extension of Federal powers of eminent domain. The administration has conducted such an assessment and concluded that opposition to legislation is justified. Additionally, and perhaps even more important, such a legislative initiative must constructively, positively, and predictably address the several interrelated water law issues attendant on any extension of Federal authorities to support interstate coal slurry pipelines. Senators from both Eastern and Western States whose waters could potentially be affected by coal slurry pipelines under Federal authority must, I repeat, must, be assured that those waters will remain fully protected, pursuant to such authorities. I am interested, for example, in maintaining the integrity of the Columbia River Basin. South Dakota has a vital interest in protecting its recently reached agreement, providing water to the ETSI pipeline. At this point, I remain openminded on this bill, and would hope that all issues will be fully reviewed in these hearings, but I think it is important to give members of the committee my initial thoughts on this legislation. (1) We have quite a few distinguished colleagues with us today, as well as an impressive array of witnesses. I hope that we can provide a satisfactory forum for all sides, and that these two hearings will result in a well-balanced discussion of the viewpoints of all concerned parties. Before proceeding to hear our colleagues, Senator Johnston, do you have a statement you'd like to make at this time? Senator JOHNSTON. Yes, thank you. I have a written statement I'd like to put in the record and just add these comments. [The prepared statement of Senator McClure and the text of S. 1844 follow:] |
