Thank you, Chairwoman Baldwin.

It is so important because our farmers and ranchers provide the highest quality, lowest cost food supply.

there's an effort to put together a bipartisan package on infrastructure.

Myself, along with a bipartisan group of senators have written OMB expressing our current concerns and that--advocating that it not be increased from 50- to 100,000.

If that passes, which I think it will, I would ask for your support in its implementation.

The Agency has worked tirelessly to ensure that all medical products, including COVID-19 vaccines, meet the Agency's standards for quality, safety, and effectiveness.

We need a new control tower and so I would just ask for your support to work with FAA.

Thank you, Madam Chairman.

Will you commit to make sure that we get funding this year to do the work that is scheduled?

I just want to ask if you support those carbon capture demonstration projects, and are committed to seeing them through, because it is a huge endeavor, a huge undertaking.

The BIA law enforcement officer shortage must be addressed.

We had a hearing in North Dakota last year where we talked about law enforcement on the reservation.

Thank you for your help on this multi-State, very important flood protection project, and innovative public-private partnership.

I think it is a big opportunity for the State. It is a big opportunity for employment as well.

Thank you for your work on the Dakota Access Pipeline, and for being open and willing to work with us on that.

I also want to thank you for your work on the Red River Valley Flood Protection Project.

This budget increases defense spending less than inflation, increases nondefense spending by 16 percent.

How do you grow the Defense Department to compete with the technologies being developed by Russia and China if our defense spending is less than inflation?
