They know that in Congress I'm going to fight against any water export project. When it comes to the Colorado river compact, we need to make sure that we uphold that. It is a critical document. We also need to lean on California, Arizona, and Nevada to live within their water budgets. They are currently using more than their allocation under that compact.
