What do you mean by traditionally? I am sorry I am taking so much time, Mr. Chairman.

That is a tough combo.

At one of the last legislative hearings, the Department indicated they were working to develop a comprehensive, long-term plan to completely resolve the BIE backlog in construction of schools.

Is that the kind of ratio we use? That is not much percentage-wise.

I am just going to follow up on where Senator Heitkamp was.

Access to high-speed internet should not be a luxury.

I appreciate you holding a hearing on a topic that is vitally important to tribal communities which, quite frankly, doesn't get enough attention.

The fact that the Air Force can't physically secure our nuclear weapons makes me concerned...
