                      Thursday, December 13, 2018

  Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of David 
Murillo, as he retires as Regional Director, and Mid-Pacific Regional 
Director for the United State Bureau of Reclamation. I ask all my 
colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Murillo for his leadership and 
commitment to water management throughout Northern California, Western 
Nevada and Southern Oregon.
  Mr. Murillo has a long career in water management in the greater 
western region. In his prior roles, Mr. Murillo oversaw operations in 
five regions across 17 Western States. Under his role as the Power 
Manager for the Grand Coulee Power Office, he managed the Grand Coulee 
and Hungry Horse Dams. Throughout his many years, Mr. Murillo has 
gained great experience from managing multi-faceted projects, and 
overseeing flood control, irrigation, hydropower production, recreation 
and managed benefits for fish and wildlife.
  Currently, Mr. Murillo has been responsible for one of the nation's 
most complex and highest-profile network of dams, reservoirs, canals 
and hydroelectric power plants--California's Central Valley Project. 
The work he has accomplished overseeing this impressive project will 
continue to impact the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, as well as 
our central coast region, and many more vital regions in our state.
  Mr. Speaker, as family and friends join to celebrate Mr. Murillo's 
successful and impactful career, I ask all my colleagues to join me in 
honoring his exemplary leadership and contribution to our water 
management and policy.
