There is a mental health crisis in Indian Country, and Native youth have been particularly hard hit.

I want to know what you are doing to bring this assistance closer to home.

America has a responsibility to meet its commitments to the Navajo and Hopi people.

I think we need to have those numbers. We need to understand if there were leases, contracts, memorandums of understanding--whatever was incurred with your office--that are going to be transferring over.

I just hope that we are not being too naive in who we are having do the contracting.

These investments are a good start, but so much more still needs to be done.

I know you have visited other schools in Indian Country, and you are hearing the alarm bells go off loud and clear.

When Congress created the Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation in 1988, it did not envision that the office would still be operating 28 years later.

The issue has been going on for too long, and now it is time to just resolve it.

I concur with the request that the chair is making. I think a quarterly report will be very helpful.

I am not an attorney, but it has been my experience here in Congress that if things are clearly settled in a court, then it goes to the judgment fund.

Last year, we were able to make great gains in repairing the damage caused by sequestration, increasing the Department's funding by $1.3 billion.

I want you to know that we value the research that USGS has done to better understand our water quality and use.

That is why last year working together in a very nonpartisan way, we increased funding for replacement school construction by $25 million.

Mr. Chairman, maybe we should ask CRS, which has a Copyright Division, to get back to this Committee on that? Would that be helpful to all of us?

We have to find a balance, Mr. Jenkins. But we have to be proactive because some of the things that are lurking out there are potential carcinogens.

We will figure out what is going on.

So I think of it as a commonsense regulation.
