D.C. — Representatives Wally Herger and Greg Walden, in a joint press
release, announced that President Bush has appointed Debra Crisp to the Klamath
River Compact Commission.<br>
<br>
Crisp, a resident of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Merrill</st1:City>,
<st1:State w:st="on">Ore.</st1:State></st1:place>, has been the Executive
Director of the Tulelake Growers Association since 1993.<br>
<br>
“We applaud President Bush for appointing Deb Crisp as the Chairperson to
the Klamath River Compact Commission,” Herger and Walden said in a joint
statement.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>“Deb
is intimately familiar with the challenges faced by farmers, ranchers and
community members in the Klamath River Basin and has worked hard to develop
common-sense solutions to them. She brings tremendous experience and leadership
to the Commission and understands that all involved are seeking solutions for
certainty — the certainty of water for farmers, certainty of fish for
tribes and fishermen, and economic certainty for the communities. We expect she
will do a great job.”<br>
<br>
The Klamath River Compact was ratified by the states of <st1:State w:st="on">Oregon</st1:State>
and <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:State>
and consented to by the United States Congress in 1957.<br>
<br>
The Compact Commission consists of one federal representative, one representative
from the State of <st1:State w:st="on">California</st1:State>, and one
representative from the State of <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Oregon</st1:place></st1:State>.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
