As warming increases in the Arctic region, sea ice coverage is decreasing.

I was highlighting the Biden Administration's, now it is 25 Executive Orders and Executive Actions singularly focused on Alaska, 25. These hurt jobs, resource development, access to land, particularly they target the Native community.

I have asked for investigations by the IG at Department of Interior.

That statement to me still to this day stands out as one of the most, just blatant, arrogant, lawless statements I have ever seen from a senior official.

I happen to like Administrator Regan. I think he is someone who believes in the States' role.

If every country in the world had that global emissions profile, we wouldn't be having major greenhouse gas emissions problems globally.

We are just, daily assaults on the good people. We are Americans too, right?

I believe you. But I just think it is important.

You are killing us, targeting my State, our State.

So can I get a commitment from you to do that, to not follow the suit of your current and former boss, the example of her?

To me that was one of the most lawless things I have ever seen a senior Administration official say.

Well, I hope this Native American Secretary of the Interior treats the Native people of my State with respect.

This is a big test; so is Willow.

the President of the United States made a commitment to me and Senator Murkowski and our late, great departed Congressman, Don Young.

it is just an imperative that we continue to work together to ensure that Alaska receives the intended benefits from these investments.

I want to thank the Administrator for being here this morning, for the engagement that you have had with each of us on issues.

I have always prioritized funding for EPA programs that really do focus on getting tangible results in providing cleaner air, cleaner water, and support for our lands across the country.

I appreciate what you have done so far, but we are here in the committee now, we are talking about providing resources and to help drive new initiatives within the Agency.
