There are many examples of our bipartisan efforts. For istance. when Californias beautiful. but fragile. coastline was threatened by the possibility of virtually unfettered offshore oil leasing. we worked together to prevent this prospect from becoming a reality. We also work togetner in insuring that California receives its fair share of Federal dollarsthe past year alone has seen strong bipartisan efforts in areas as diverse as obtaining adequate funding for refugee resettlement and encouraging an appropriate share of defense contracts for California. I would like to mention especially how much I have appreciated working with the gentleman from Crescent City. DON CLAUSEN.
