S. 1942, a bill to direct the AG to review, revise and develop law enforcement and justice protocols appropriate to address missing and murdered Indians

We thank Senator Heitkamp for her leadership in introducing Savanna's Act, which is aimed at improving the response to missing persons and murder cases involving Native victims.

We have kind of a joke on this side. We say what happens in the Indian Affairs Committee stays in the Indian Affairs Committee.

I think we need to do more to support our Native communities.

Of all responsibilities our government assumes, none is more urgent, more dire, and more necessary than the protection of the most vulnerable of our society.

These areas outlined are necessary to understand not only the complexities of the jurisdictions, but the depth of the issues of law enforcement and judicial responses that affect the lives and safety of Native women every day.

The quickest way to provide a deterrent from insider trading or all kinds of nefarious bad acts is send someone to jail, right?

I want to mandate it, because I am tired of executives saying, 'I did not know,' 'Not my business,' 'Did not look, not my business.'

I am pleased to write this letter of support for, and commitment to, supporting Savanna's Act.

The U.S. government has a federal trust responsibility and legal obligation to safeguard not only the Treaties, but to ensure all citizens of the United States have equal access to justice and the right to live a life free from violence.

We certainly hope those fund managers are reading the prospectus.

as we move forward on tax reform, I think the one great potential for absolute agreement is that we should lower the burden for middle-income taxpayers, and as we move forward, the one thing we absolutely should not do is in any way…

pursuant to section 904 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, I move to waive section 305(b)(2) of that act for purposes of the pending amendment, and I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second…

I am pleased to follow the distinguished Senator from South Carolina and appreciate very much his remarks and how he does such a good job of really explaining why this tax relief is so very important. I rise today to talk about the need…

I also believe, Dr. Pon, that you are the first line of defense when agencies say we need this quality of person.

I think not just getting the people on board to do that, but going through what we are required to do and what people have recommended us to do, we needed to be hawkish on those management requirements.

I pledge to you to be a forceful advocate for your agencies that you look at reforming.

I think one of the frustrations that we have had, Senator Lankford and I have had, is OMB and the IG reports not being listened to.
