Yeah, we need to move forward.

I think that you see a business optimism that is a result of a sense that at least someone is going to listen to us about regulation.

I completely concur in what Senator Lankford said.

I think the Clean Power Plan was folly. I think that it was wrongly decided at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

One of the concerns that I have... that can change tomorrow... our job is to provide systemic, long-term certainty.

But my point to you is that if you take this to the extreme and you eliminate regulation, we have seen that.

At the time when I was looking at statistics, it would be two to three times higher.

There needs to be a much more aggressive attitude about trying to figure out what is going on with Native kids.

Incarcerating kids, if they are Native, for drinking and not if they are White does not seem very fair.

I knew it would be one of those of which Senator McCain would be most proud because it represented the brotherhood of warriors.

The level of frustration we all have about the lack of statistics and data is overwhelming.

I think it is critically important.

We need to ensure that our policies reflect the unique needs of Native communities.

I want to recognize a Federal employee I have had the privilege of working with for the past 5 and a half years, Judy DesHarnais, deputy for programs and project management with the St. Paul District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers…

One of the last bills Senator McCain was able to get passed was our bill which would allow for Amber Alert in Indian Country.

He was one of the Committee's longest-serving members, serving twice as Chairman of this Committee.

We must do more to support Native youth and ensure they have access to the resources they need.

He was truly a colleague and a friend.
