CALVERT’S
CALFED LEGISLATION SIGNED INTO LAW
WASHINGTON,
DC –
Yesterday,
President Bush signed H.R. 2828, the Water Supply, Reliability and
Environmental Improvement Act, into law. Congressman Ken Calvert
(CA-44th) was the lead sponsor of H.R. 2828. This
legislation, also known as CALFED, allows California, and the Western
States, to meet their goal of enhanced water quality and supply
through more efficient delivery and additional storage.
U.S.
Interior Secretary Gale Norton praised H.R. 2828 in a statement
today. “This landmark legislation represents the culmination of a
strong bipartisan effort by the
California Congressional
delegation to secure California’s water future,” Norton said. “As the
largest and most comprehensive water management plan in the nation,
the CALFED program is a national model of collaborative resource
management. The Department of the Interior affirms its commitment to
working with the State of California and water and environmental
interests to address California’s water needs.”

House sends Calvert’s H.R. 2828
CALFED Bill to President
Today
the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2828, also known as
CALFED, the Water Supply, Reliability, and Environmental
Improvement Act.
"This bill will help California develop a reliable
and independent water supply for the 21st century.” Said Calvert, who introduced the bill in July 2003. “I have worked
closely with Senator Feinstein to bring this bill through the
House and Senate and to the President’s desk. We could not have
gotten where we are today without her help and the willingness of
all of California’s water stakeholders to work together to meet
our state’s water needs.”
