"My staff and I had the opportunity to visit Dworshak Dam, part of the Walla Walla District, and see firsthand the important work being done to support recreation and wildlife, mitigate flood risks, and provide reliable hydropower. Dworshak Dam is the third-tallest dam in the United States and supports the world's largest steelhead hatchery. It plays an important role in our state, and I appreciate the hard work that goes into maintaining its many benefits for Idahoans. If you haven't had the chance to visit, I highly recommend making the trip and experiencing one of Idaho's great destinations!"

"Rosie the Riveters played a vital role in supporting the war effort during World War II, demonstrating the service, sacrifice, and patriotism of American women. I am proud to co-lead H.R. 2290, the World War II Women’s Memorial Location Act, which would establish a location in our nation’s capital for a memorial honoring these women and their contributions, with the project funded entirely through private donations. The National Mall is a place that commemorates significant events and people throughout our nation’s history. The contributions of Rosie the Riveters deserve to be recognized among these lasting tributes to American history. 'Rosie the Riveter' deserves recognition on the National Mall."
