I think it is critically important.

Mr. President, 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…

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

Throughout his service in Congress, Senator McCain was a real champion for Indian Country.

He was truly a colleague and a friend.

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

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

Whose responsibility is it to fix that problem and investigate it and prosecute it?

Now we have all these kids that we do not know what to do with and we cannot find their parents or their parents may have left without them, and they are in facilities where they are being abused, sexually assaulted.

I do not think that is right, and I do not think it reflects American values.

What are the major issues left to resolve in terms of getting Canada into an agreement on NAFTA?

I think it puts pressure on China.

I trust that is something that you are going to get--I mean, that is ridiculous, right? And you are going to get that addressed?

You know, I wonder where he got the idea democracy is for sale. Huh, I wonder.
