Rep. Val Hoyle calls out a continuing resolution that’s maybe less budget and more blind eye to a power grab, Senator Ron Wyden has questions about a United Kingdom surveillance court ordering an Apple backdoor, and Senator Jeff Merkley gets a $2 million ask from our own Benton County Commissioners.
So, weighing in at 4,548 words, here are your congressional delegation’s highlights from the last week…
Hoyle’s week…
Summer internships: Last Monday, Hoyle announced her office will be taking internship applications until April 4 at 5 pm. These are paid jobs that begin mid-May and last until the end of August – but the dates are flexible based on the applicant’s personal and academic schedule.
Her office’s release said, “Intern responsibilities will include, but are not limited to assisting staff with legislative, administrative, constituent relations, communications, and digital activities. Successful candidates will demonstrate that they are organized, detail-oriented, and professional. Strong written and oral communication skills are essential.”
More information on how to apply can be found here.
Resolved nope: Last Tuesday, Hoyle voted no on that Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, or Continuing Resolution for short, or CR for shorter.
After the vote, Hoyle blasted off a press release, writing at the top of her lungs, “This bill enables the President and his administration to spend taxpayer dollars without accountability or oversight from Congress. I will not vote for legislation that signs away Congress’s constitutionally-directed responsibility as a separate but equal branch of government, especially to an administration that has made it clear their target is to cut our earned benefits and destroy the services that working people rely on like Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. I will not give them the tools or the ammunition to dismantle our government and sell it to the highest bidder. I voted no.”
She also detailed some of the cuts in H.R. 1968, some of them in our congressional district:
- Cuts $14.2 million in Community Project Funding (CPF) for Oregon’s 4th Congressional District. In FY 2024, Congresswoman Hoyle secured $16.6 million for Oregon’s 4th Congressional District through the CPF process, including $2 million for a chemotherapy clinic in Curry County;
- Withholds $22.8 billion in FY2026 funding for the Toxic Exposures Fund that cares for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances;
- Omits $700 million from rent subsidies for working Americans, leaving 32,000 households, many of whom are veterans, survivors of domestic violence, and seniors, at risk of eviction;
- Cuts $1.4 billion dollars – 44% of the budget – from the Army Cops of Engineers construction dedicated to the safety of waterways, flood management, and marine ecosystem restoration.
And then Hoyle made a constitutional argument, “The Constitution requires that Congress appropriate funding and that the President see to it that those funds are dutifully spent how and where Congress intended. Numerous courts have ruled that by freezing funds or destroying agencies, the current Administration has violated the Constitution. By continuing to appropriate funding without bolstering protections for Congress’s ‘power of the purse,’ this bill writes President Trump’s Administration a blank check with no guardrails.
This CR also removes critical Congressional direction. In each appropriations bill, Congress gives federal agencies guidance and rules on how to use or not use specific funds. Omitting these directives gives the Administration more unchecked power over how they use American taxpayers’ money.

Wyden’s week…
RFK big dollar pharma dinner questions: Last Monday, Wyden joined Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in demanding answers from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about his promises to “clean up corruption” and “stop the revolving door between industry and government.” Which seems a little vanilla, until…
“Despite Kennedy proclaiming himself a Big Pharma critic, the Wall Street Journal has reported that Kennedy attended several dinners with healthcare executives who paid millions of dollars to have an audience with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, raising questions about Big Pharma’s ability to throw its weight around with their checkbooks during this administration,” said a release from the senatorial trio.
In a letter to Kennedy following these reports, the senators wrote, “It is unclear why you attended private dinners with Big Pharma executives at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club following your promises to ‘clean up corruption’ and ‘stop the revolving door between industry and government.’”
The pharmaceutical executives who attended Trump’s dinners alongside Kennedy have repeatedly called on the administration to repeal Medicare drug negotiations that have lowered life-saving prescription costs and could save taxpayers as much as $100 billion by 2032. If policies that bring drug prices down are abandoned, Big Pharma stands to win big while Americans who count on affordable prescriptions would lose, the senators wrote.
At Kennedy’s swearing-in ceremony last month, he committed to “end the corruption, end the corporate capture” of regulatory agencies like HHS by Big Pharma, additionally promising to remove regulatory panel members with conflicts of interest, and provide “radical transparency.” His presence at these lobbying dinners stands in stark contrast with these commitments, and raises questions about the policies he may pursue at HHS.
The full letter is here. We appreciate the spirit of this try, but we’re not holding our breath for a response from RFK.
But we’ll hold our breath for this: The U.S. is experiencing its first measles deaths in a decade. Once declared eliminated in the U.S., measles has, as of last Thursday, infected at least 223 individuals in 13 U.S. jurisdictions. Sooo… Both Wyden and Merkley called for immediate action from Kennedy to stop the spread of measles with a national vaccination campaign.
Stressing the importance of reinstating public health workers indiscriminately fired by the Trump administration, the senators concluded, “We urgently request that you reinstate all fired federal health workers and protect those remaining from termination to help stop the spread of measles and other infectious diseases.”
Full text of the letter is here. It’s co-signed by plenty of Democrats and no Republicans. The letter, by the way, mentions the idea that maybe the administration could reinstate all those fired federal health workers. We’re still holding our breath, and once we pass-out, maybe we’ll get lucky, and not come to for about four years.
Moving along…
Rotting apples, or why you should freakout: Last Thursday, Wyden joined a bipartisan and bicameral call for transparency from the U.K.’s top surveillance court about the UK government’s reported order to Apple to build a backdoor into encrypted iCloud backups to enable government surveillance of messages, photos and other files. Under U.K. law, Apple is barred from confirming the backdoor order to the public or even members of Congress.
According to reports, Apple is challenging the order at the U.K.’s Investigatory Powers Tribunal in a closed-door hearing on March 14. The bipartisan group of members urged the court to “remove the cloak of secrecy” surrounding the order, and to make this hearing and any further proceedings in the case public. They noted that secrecy in this case is pointless, given that the order has now been widely reported and commented on, and that Apple withdrew its encryption service for U.K. users last month.
“Given the significant technical complexity of this issue, as well as the important national security harms that will result from weakening cybersecurity defenses, it is imperative that the U.K.’s technical demands of Apple— and of any other U.S. companies — be subjected to robust, public analysis and debate by cybersecurity experts,” the members wrote. “Secret court hearings featuring intelligence agencies and a handful of individuals approved by them do not enable robust challenges on highly technical matters.”
The U.S. government has recommended that officials only communicate using secure, encrypted services, following multiple damaging hacks of sensitive government data from insecure third-party systems in recent years. The Chinese government’s “Salt Typhoon” hack of American phone systems, the “Snowflake” data breach of “nearly all” AT&T customers’ data, including government officials, and the Chinese government’s hack of Microsoft-hosted U.S. government email accounts, all involved data held by third party companies on insecure systems that were subsequently accessed by hackers.
The members wrote that secrecy required of backdoor orders impedes Congress’s power to conduct oversight, including by barring U.S. companies from disclosing foreign orders that threaten Americans’ privacy and cybersecurity.
“Apple has informed Congress that had it received a technical capabilities notice, it would be barred by U.K. law from telling Congress whether or not it received such a notice from the U.K., as the press has reported,” they wrote. “Google also recently told Senator Wyden’s office that, if it had received a technical capabilities notice, it would be prohibited from disclosing that fact.”
The letter text is available here.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and President Donald Trump raised concerns about the reported U.K. order following a letter from Wyden and Biggs last month. DNI Gabbard stated in her response that the U.K.’s reported demand would be “a clear and egregious violation of Americans’ privacy and civil liberties, and open up a serious vulnerability for cyber exploitation by adversarial actors.” President Trump also said that he raised the issue during Prime Minister Starmer’s recent visit to Washington, comparing the U.K.’s actions to the conduct of China.
Here’s the folks Wyden joined with: Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, and Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif. Like we said, bipartisan and bicameral.
Merkley’s week…
Earmark, please: Last Tuesday, the Benton County Board of Commissioners voted to co-sign a letter asking Merkley to pursue a $2 million earmark for the Corvallis Daytime Drop-in Center, or CDDC.
They’re looking to buy a building across the street from their present Taco Bell looking digs at 530 SW 4th Street. Their current landlord has new plans for the site, and the CDDC has been negotiating to buy the other building, which would work out well for them because they are already leasing some overflow office space there. Not to mention, it sounds like they’ll be getting a good deal – so there’s that.
“The Corvallis Daytime Drop-in Center (CDDC) is a community-based resource hub providing information, referrals, and direct services for people experiencing homelessness and poverty in Benton County and beyond,” according to their homepage.
Human rights ask: Last Wednesday, Merkley joined Representative James P. McGovern, D-MA, in a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio asking him to restore funding to non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, that monitor and advocate for human rights in China.
The letter appeals to Secretary Rubio as a former Chair (2017-2018) of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC)—a bipartisan and bicameral body that monitors human rights and rule of law in the People’s Republic of China—which Representative McGovern (2019-2020) and Senator Merkley (2021-2022) have both also served as Chairs for.
“We ask you, both as Members of Congress who want the United States to continue to be a visible champion of human rights and rule of law in China, and as former partners on the CECC, to take immediate action to end the funding freeze so that organizations working on China human rights can continue to receive support from the U.S. government and the American people,” wrote Senator Merkley and Representative McGovern.
The CECC relies extensively on the research and reporting by NGOs now being forced to lay off staff and curtail operations due to Secretary Rubio’s funding freeze. The letter highlights the breadth of China-focused legislation promoted by then-Senator Rubio based on the work of NGOs he is now defunding. Along with current Co-chair Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), Merkley, McGovern, and then-Senator Rubio authored the landmark Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, a product made possible by the work of the CECC.
The letter notes that Secretary Rubio’s withdrawal of support adds to the risks these organizations already face from the Chinese government and Communist Party, including cyberattacks, surveillance, intimidation, and transnational repression on U.S. soil.
The full text of the letter is available here.
Smoked winegrapes: Last Thursday, Merkley, and others, introduced the bipartisan and bicameral Smoke Exposure Research Act.
The goal is to better protect winegrape growers against wildfire smoke damage by strengthening research and risk management efforts at West Coast land-grant universities. The bill would authorize $32.5 million annually over the next five-year Farm Bill cycle to better understand the impacts of prolonged wildfire smoke exposure on vines and wineries and provide fair insurance products for growers.
Billmates include U.S. Senators Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) and, and Representatives Mike Thompson (D-Calif.-04) and Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.-01). Also, we made up the word billmates – sorry, not sorry, but moving along…
Smoke from wildfires can damage winegrapes through prolonged exposure, which can be absorbed through thin grape skins and create an ashy taste known as “smoke taint,” potentially compromising the health, quality, and value of wine produced.
The legislation comes after President Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) briefly fired Agricultural Research Service (ARS) workers conducting critical research efforts on the harmful impact of wildfire smoke taint on winegrapes, including two researchers at University of California (UC), Davis and four other researchers. The researchers returned to work after the U.S. Department of Agriculture succumbed to significant public pressure to rescind these harmful cuts.
“As climate chaos continues to fuel unprecedented wildfire seasons, blankets of dense, hazardous smoke threaten Oregon’s world-renowned winemakers and their workers,” said Senator Merkley. “We must invest in research so Oregon’s winegrowers understand wildfire smoke and its effect on grapes and wine production.”
“Winegrapes are essential to economies across our country, and states like California, Oregon, and Washington have been disproportionately exposed to wildfires leading to smoke exposure impacting our winegrapes,” said Representative Thompson. “Researching the impact that smoke has on our winegrapes and other crops is essential in advancing solutions that will protect these key economic drivers from future natural disasters.”
“Winegrapes are a major contributor to California’s economy, but with wildfire season now stretching nearly year-round, growers are facing an ongoing threat. Smoke exposure can ruin an entire harvest, leaving wineries and growers with huge losses. Research into how smoke affects crops is a necessary step toward developing ways to protect growers, preserve production, and keep California’s wine industry strong. I’m pleased to be working with my colleagues in the Senate to tackle this issue and ensure our farmers have the tools they need to adapt and recover,” said Representative LaMalfa.
Federal research on smoke exposure has never been formally authorized — despite the fact that increasingly frequent and catastrophic wildfires threaten the long-term sustainability of important winegrowing regions and the vintners, vineyards, wineries, and the communities they serve. The Smoke Exposure Research Act of 2025 would provide more certainty by authorizing $32.5 million over five years to conduct research in coordination with UC Davis, Oregon State University, and Washington State University on the effects of smoke exposure on viticulture and enology operations and practices.
Specifically, the Smoke Exposure Research Act directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) to conduct research to:
- Identify the compounds responsible for smoke taint;
- Establish standard methodologies for sampling and testing smoke-exposed winegrapes and smoke-affected wines, including fast and inexpensive screening methods;
- Establish a reliable database of background levels of smoke taint compounds that occur naturally in winegrapes;
- Develop risk assessment tools or mitigation methods to reduce or eliminate smoke taint.

Hoyle, Wyden and Merkley together…
Ocean of doubt in the air: Last Friday, Oregon’s entire Democratic delegation sounded an alarm over their serious concerns stemming from the firings of National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, staff in Oregon and across the nation.
“These terminations threaten critical programs and research that strengthen and shape domestic and international ocean, fisheries, climate, space and weather policies,” the Oregon delegation wrote to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, which oversees NOAA.
The lawmakers are calling on the Commerce Secretary to provide clarity on the status of NOAA staffing levels, detail what actions are being done to reinstate terminated staff and show what is being done to mitigate disruptions to NOAA’s critical and far-reaching programs.
Among NOAA’s many assets are research programs, vessels, satellites, science centers, laboratories, and a vast pool of distinguished scientists and experts. All of these ingredients play an active role in daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings, and climate monitoring, as well as fisheries management, coastal restoration and supporting marine commerce.
Additionally, NOAA’s research and services support economic continuity and impact more than one-third of America’s gross domestic product. This is highly visible in Oregon, as the state is home to NOAA’s Marine Operations Center–Pacific in Newport and serves as homeport to two NOAA ships on the West Coast. This operations center provides logistical, engineering, electronics, maintenance, and administrative support to all ships in NOAA’s Pacific fleet. These ships collect data essential to protecting marine mammals, coral reefs and historic shipwrecks, managing commercial fisheries, understanding climate change, and producing nautical charts that help keep mariners safe. NOAA ships also deploy and help maintain buoys that gather oceanographic and weather information and warn coastal communities of tsunamis.
The Oregon delegation made it clear to Commerce Secretary Lutnick that this loss of NOAA staff would not only significantly impact these oceanographic and atmospheric monitoring systems that are vital to Oregon’s economic and environmental sustainability but endanger the safety of Oregonians across the state.
“Additionally, the loss of National Weather Service (NWS) employees will have a drastic impact on Oregon’s ability to maintain radar systems, especially during critical weather events like Oregon’s record breaking 2024 wildfire season,” the lawmakers warned. “NWS offices in Oregon routinely provide critical training in fire weather forecasting to incident command teams in advance of the wildfire season. NWS will not have personnel to administer these life-saving trainings for the 2025 wildfire season because of these employment terminations.”
“Given the importance of NOAA research and support in our home state of Oregon and across the country, we urge the Department of Commerce to take immediate steps to reinstate all affected staff. The continuation of NOAA’s vital work is critical to ensuring the long-term stability and success of America’s atmospheric and oceanographic economy,”the Oregon delegation concluded.

Bigger Smith rec area: Last Tuesday, Merkley and Wyden introduced the Smith River National Recreation Area Expansion Act, legislation to expand the Smith River National Recreation Area by 58,000 acres.
Both say the legislation is critical to protect the diverse ecosystems of the rivers, streams, and adjacent lands of the North Fork Smith River watershed and help boost the local fishing and recreation industries that many Oregonians rely on. This legislation is also cosponsored by California’s U.S. Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff.
“When we come together to protect our state’s natural wonders, we can create jobs, protect resources, grow our economy, and make sure future generations of Oregonians can enjoy our incredible public lands,” Merkley said. “I’m grateful to have had the partnership of local leaders, conservationists, and businesses as well as my colleagues, in supporting this legislation expanding the Smith River National Recreation Area—a commonsense win-win for adventurers across the Northwest, those interested in preserving the beautiful places in Oregon, and Southern Oregon’s economy.”
“Expanding the Smith River National Recreation Area would protect one of our state’s most iconic treasures and generate both recreation jobs and economic benefits for Southern Oregon from visitors eager to fish, hunt, camp and hike in the area,” Wyden said. “The fact that this legislation has secured such broad-based support in Oregon reflects its many benefits, and I’m all in to get this bill across the finish line.”
“Renowned for its whitewater creeks, hiking trails, and vital salmon and steelhead populations, the Smith River is a West Coast treasure,” Padilla said. “This effort to expand the Smith River National Recreation Area is crucial to protect our state’s only free-flowing major river system, bolstering the essential fishing and recreation industries in both California and Oregon.”
“The expansion of the Smith River to include Oregon’s North Fork watershed will not only enable us to preserve a valuable resource but will help boost economic growth. The river is a natural treasure to Oregon and Northern California and this legislation will benefit future generations, expand recreational opportunities, and protect the rich biodiversity,” Schiff said.
In 1990, Congress enacted legislation to establish the Smith River National Recreation Area (NRA) to protect the watershed, but the boundary of the NRA stopped at the Oregon border, leaving the North Fork of the Smith River and its tributaries unprotected.
The Smith River is home to a rich variety of plants and wildlife—including Coho and Chinook salmon, Coastal Cutthroat trout, the diverse Siskiyou Mountains forests, unique plants found nowhere else on earth, and spectacular redwoods that tower over the lower river banks. The Smith River NRA’s scenic beauty, world-class fisheries, and exceptional water quality attract adventurers who partake in Oregon’s many recreational opportunities.
The NRA expansion would protect 74 miles of scenic rivers, including Baldface Creek, Chrome Creek, and nearby streams and permanently withdraw the land from new mining claims. Additionally, the legislation would task the U.S. Forest Service with the preparation of an updated recreation plan identifying specific plans for the entire National Recreation Area, and produce a special study of streams, fens, wetlands, and potentially unstable and vulnerable aquatic habitat areas. The bill complements the Oregon Recreation Enhancement Act, which was introduced by the Senators last week to protect the North Fork Smith River watershed and other Southwestern Oregon rivers and streams.

“I thank Senator Merkley and support his efforts and legislation to expand the Smith River National Recreation Area in Oregon’s North Fork of the Smith River watershed,” said David Brock Smith, Oregon State Senator District 01 (R-Port Orford). “The Smith River is an important watershed in Southern Oregon and Northern California, providing critical salmonid habitat, drinking water and recreational opportunities. This is not a partisan issue and I will continue to be a strong state partner in supporting the Smith River, its tributaries and the watersheds of Southwest Oregon.”
“I am proud to support Senator Merkley’s initiative to expand the stunning Smith River Watershed, an integral part of our incredible Wild Rivers Coast,” stated Court Boice, Oregon State Representative District 01 (R-Gold Beach). “The Kalmiopsis Wilderness and Rogue River – Siskiyou National Forest boast some of the most diverse, breathtaking, and untamed landscapes in North America. This legislation is crucial not only for preserving our pristine rivers but also for revitalizing our vital salmon and steelhead populations.”
“The expansion of the Smith River National Recreation Area completes a conservation effort initiated over thirty years ago,” said Grant Werschkull, Co-Executive Director for Smith River Alliance. “This action is vitally important to downstream communities and the Smith River as a stronghold for Pacific salmon species.”
“On behalf of the 340 businesses we represent as well as multiple partner Chambers of Commerce in our bioregion, we thank Senator Merkley for his leadership and assistance,” said Cindy Vosburg, Executive Director of the Crescent City-Del Norte County Chamber of Commerce. “This forward-looking legislation helps insure our community will continue to have high quality drinking water and one of the cleanest rivers in the USA. This is very important to our community and our travel and tourism-based economy.”
“The Smith River watershed provides a wide variety of outdoor activities in a unique landscape including hunting, fishing, rafting, swimming, hiking, and camping,” said Justin Gindlesperger, Southwest Regional Director for the Oregon Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers. “The expansion of the Smith River National Recreation Area would provide an essential safeguard to the watershed so future generations can experience a remarkable and truly wild landscape here in Southwest Oregon. The Oregon Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers continues to stand with the sportsmen and women of Oregon for the protection of the wild lands and waters of the State and we fully support the effort to protect such a valuable resource.”
“The value of the Smith River lies in its fisheries and the headwaters which support them,” said James Fraser, Oregon Policy Director, Trout Unlimited. “Fishing and hunting is a huge part of the rural economy in southwest Oregon. This bill safeguards those opportunities and the resources that hunters and anglers depend upon.”
“The upper Smith River watershed offers special opportunities for backcountry recreation of all kinds,” said Clinton Begley, Executive Director of American Whitewater. “We’re grateful for Senator Merkley’s leadership in working to protect this irreplaceable landscape and recognize its unique significance. Expanding the Smith River National Recreation Area in Oregon and extending Wild and Scenic designation to the North Fork Smith’s tributaries will help keep one of the West Coast’s last free-flowing rivers wild and free for generations to come.”
“Expanding the Smith River National Recreation Area and protecting the North Fork lands in Oregon is absolutely the right thing to do,” said Susan Jane Brown, Principal, Silvix Resources. “I’m grateful for Senator Merkley’s leadership and for the cooperation by many interests to advance this critically important legislation for one of our nation’s most spectacular wild river.”
“I’ve paddled the North Fork of the Smith in Oregon as well as Baldface Creek and can attest to their distinct values,” said Zach Collier, Owner/Outfitter, Northwest Rafting Company. “We fully support any legislation that promotes the permanent protection of these rivers. The North Fork watershed is uniquely special to the world and should be protected as such.”
“The Smith River deserves complete protection because state lines are arbitrary to a river,” said Will Volpert, Indigo Creek Outfitters. “Oregon is lucky to have a piece of the Smith, as it is truly one of the most majestic and beautiful river systems anywhere. It is a place like no other—with canyon colors beyond vibrant and a terrain that begs to be explored yet is rugged enough to hold most adventurers back. Every time I visit the Smith, it feels like I’m the first person to visit the river canyon in all of history—and that’s a pretty special feeling.”
“The North Fork Smith is a national and botanical treasure, and it always should have been a part of the Smith River National Recreation Area,” said Michael Dotson, Executive Director of the Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center. “We are thankful to Senator Merkley for his leadership in protecting one of the most spectacular rivers in the world.”
“The Smith River is recognized as one of the premier salmon strongholds on the West Coast,” said Guido Rahr, President and CEO of the Wild Salmon Center. “We’re grateful to Senators Merkley and Wyden for this investment in wild salmon and the coastal communities that depend on them. Protecting the Smith’s cold, clean flows across the entire watershed will secure this place for people and fish for generations to come.”
“The Smith River is one of the most exceptional wild rivers on the west coast, offering world-class recreation and conservation benefits. Expanding the Smith River National Recreation Area to include its Oregon headwaters is a common-sense step to support exceptional outdoor opportunities and the communities that rely on them. We applaud Senator Merkley and Senator Wyden for their leadership in protecting this remarkable landscape for future generations,” said Louis Geltman, Vice President for Policy and Government Relations, Outdoor Alliance.
“We’ve worked for years with local communities to improve protection of the North Fork Smith River. From its pristine drinking water for downstream communities, outdoor recreation opportunities for locals, and the growing travel and tourism industry, this area has it all,” said David Moryc, with American Rivers. “We thank Senator Merkley for his leadership to protect Oregon’s most valuable natural assets.”
