RE: Requesting you and the Seattle Port Commissioners help in asking President Trump to "Make Fast
Track Completion of President Franklin D Roosevelt's Columbia Basin Project by 2022", his first
National Bipartisan Project ofhis administration.
Ms. Gregoire,
You and the Board of Seattle Port Commissioners have the opportunity to continue to being one
ofthe leading forces ofPacific Northwest. I am asking you to lead a Washington State Coalition to 1600
Pennsylvania Ave NW, requesting President Trump in "Fast Track Completion ofthe Columbia Basin,
Snake River, Yakima Basin, and Expansion of WA Ports projects by 2022".
This is the largest Public Works Project of President Franklin D Roosevelt's administration sitting
on the "shelfofhistory" waiting to be completed. Grand Coulee Dam: A Man Made

After many years ofpromoting this project to three presidents and three Washington governors, it
is regrettably my opinion that partisan politics from all parties has been undermining its completion for
decades and it is currently being undermined today. With the voter's mandate ofreaching across the aisle,
this is the perfect time to demonstrate to voters that you are more interested in their welfare than party
politics.
Within the last ten days Washington State Agriculture Chairman Representative Brian Blake,
Minority Chairwoman Senator Judy Warnick, and also Representative Tom Dent have jointly agreed to
redraft and reintroduce " 2009 Bipartisan Legislation" supplanting Governor Gregoire's and President
Obama joint Executive Orders for these projects by replacing President Trump's and Governor Inslee's
names and introducing it into the 2019 legislative session!
Since the beginning of2018, "Bipartisan Letters of Support" have been drafted by the Grant
County Commissioners, Grant County PUD, Eastern WA Council ofGovernments, and other government
entities.  In addition...Representatives Brian, Judy and Tom have agreed to draft a "Joint Bipartisan
Letter" in support ofthese projects prior to 2019 session.
President Gregoire, would you and the Seattle Port Commissioners consider initiating a State
Regional Bipartisan Conference in June of2018, in Seattle, to assist bringing this infrastructure and jobs
project to improve Washington State's economy and jobs for the next century?
Respectfully submitted,
Glen R Stockwell
