Grassley
Direct
In
the
latest
"Grassley
Direct,"
I
discuss
immigration
reform,
the
start
of
my annual
99
county
meetings
and
the
brave
gymnasts
who
spoke
out
about
the
sexual
abuse
they
experienced and
the
work
I’m
doing
in
Congress
to
help.
Q&A:
Stopping
Sexual
Assault
Q. What
actions
are
underway
in
Congress
to
address
criminal
sexual
assault
of
youth?
Q.
What
other
legislative
and
oversight
measures
are
you
developing
to
stop
sexual
violence?

President
Trump,
during
his State
of
the
Union
Address,
discussed
the
many
accomplishments
of
the
past
year,
as
well
as
a
long
to-do
list
on
behalf
of
the
American
people
in
the
year
ahead.
President
Trump
laid
out
a
framework
for
solving
some
of
the
most
immediate
challenges
facing
America,
including
the
opioid
crisis,
rebuilding
the
nation’s
infrastructure,
various
immigration
issues
and
the
ongoing
threat
of
terrorism.
KCAU-TV
in
Sioux
City
discussed
how
the
recent
revelations
to
come
from
the
USA
Gymnastics
sexual
abuse
case
led
my
colleagues
and
me
to
take
action
in
Congress.

The EPA
announced
it
will
delay
implementation
of
the
“Waters
of
the
U.S.”
rule
for
two
years
while
the
agency
permanently
reconsiders
the
Obama-era
regulation. This
move
by
the
Trump
administration
is
welcome
news.
This
overreaching
rule
would
have
defined
97
percent
of
Iowa
land
as
a
waterway,
which
is
as
ridiculous
as
it
sounds. That’s
not
a
serious
approach
to
making
our
waterways
cleaner. I’ll
continue
to
watch
this
issue
closely
and
encourage
EPA
to
explore
more
legitimate
ways
to
improve
water
quality.
With
Congress
at
work
on
key
priorities
and
the
President
spelling
out
his
goals
in
the
annual
State
of
the
Union
address,
I’m
focused
on
a
number
of
initiatives
for
Iowans
and
the
nation,
which
you
can
read
about
in
an
op-ed here.
I
welcome
concerns
and
ideas
from
Iowans
to
make
government
more
transparent,
effective
and
efficient.
I’ll
continue
my
service
as
a
watchdog
for
good
government,
champion
for
taxpayers
and
representative
for
Iowans.
