Streamline permitting and establish a dam-financing fund

McClintock said he would act on legislation he had authored to streamline permitting for new dam construction. He also described legislation by House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings to create a revolving fund to help start dam financing. He expected discussions with the Senate to begin on reconciling differences between the chambers’ water legislation.

Context: These are plans reported in a speech; the passage does not establish whether the legislation was later enacted.
