What are you doing right now to prevent regs that would lead to an ill-timed lead phase-out prior to the availability and affordability of the oncoming unleaded av gas fuels?

Speaking about refining the procedures, of course you are familiar with the, in Alaska, the tribal consortia, and how they really are able to harness economies of scale.

It's kind of embarrassing to think that a country like India is going to have an icebreaker in the water before we would.

You can't count on it. You can't afford it and you can't count on it.

I have found in some agencies... an unwillingness to speak the language of the tribes.

I understand the Navy is collaborating with the Coast Guard in designing the Polar Security Cutters.

So when we are able to come together through these consortia, it makes a world of difference.

For far too long, we hear about these programs, we hear about the funding that we have put, outlined in legislation, in law with specific, specific set-asides for tribal interests.

So you don't consider that outreach, do you?

One of the challenges that we have in Alaska, just as it is difficult to get things in, you have to fly barrels of fuel in at the end of winter, it is equally difficult to get things out.

We need to prioritize the needs of our tribal communities in energy discussions.

I have been a member of the Indian Affairs Committee since I came to the United States Senate 20 years ago.

To make sure our troops in the region are safe and secure. Vote on Amendment No. 33 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to amendment No. 33.

I am all eyes on the Arctic all the time.

Let's visit on that because I'd also like to talk to you about the potential for the Ukrainian people that have come to Alaska.

We should be working together to try to figure out how we can solve some of these problems...

Thank you for the time.
