Whether it is the central subway , which is far behind schedule, and as that gentleman with the red hair to my right sitting behind the commissioner reported, it is going to be further delayed, and now i actually am going to point a finger because i said to this reporter when he called, and i said the project management oversight reports that the central subway was going to be even later and that the whole construct that it was still on budget, behind schedule but on budget, may no longer be true, either, and i said the truth, which was, alberto from the sfmta stance in front of all 11 of us and repeatedly says it will be in Revenue Service on december 31st of 2019, and we will not be overbudget.

The subcommittee on water oceans good morning. The subcommittee on water, oceans, and wildlife will come to order. This subcommittee is mint street hear testimony on h. R. 2245, the cecil act. And committee rule, any oral statement that there are limited to the chairman and the Ranking Member. The vice chair and the vice Ranking Member. This allows us to get from our witnesses soon and helps members keep their schedule. I asked anonymous consent all of the members Opening Statements be made part of the hearing record if they are submitted to the subcommittee clerk by 5 p. M. Today or the close of hearing whichever comes first. During no objection, it is so ordered. One other bit of housekeeping. Im told votes are expected in about 30 minutes.

We will recess for those votes and then we will come back as soon as we can get that finish line apologist for the inconvenient but sometimes thats what we have to do things around here. Good morning.
