Let us get the legislation passed and signed into law because there is a lot of work to do to make all of Indian Country safe and secure.

Well, I am glad that all of you agree that we need a broad-gauged approach to tackle this in all the areas.

I am happy to express support for the proposed Tribal Law and Order Act of 2009 and the significant measures contained therein.

Senator Udall, problems beget problems.

I think it is an interesting idea. I think it is very consistent with some of the other provisions of this bill.

We need to give tribes the authority to prosecute crimes on their lands.

How can I trust those people? That is the issue, building trust.

I am not stepping away. I am stepping up. And that is what we are asking the Federal Government to do.

I think if the States aren't going to uphold their issues with respective tribes, I think we better get those things retroceded, especially for our tribe, especially our juvenile delinquency issues.

I think you have to.

I am not talking about necessarily the Bureau of Indian Affairs. I am talking about a collective effort to work on this issue and give these young people hope in our society.

The resources aren't there.

But even with that kind of comparison it's still a very difficult choice in many situations, isn't it?

At the request of New Mexico Senators Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall (June 24, 2009), the National Park Service performed a reconnaissance study.

I couldn't agree more.

Where is the logic and the humanity of having pre-existing conditions not covered in our society?

It's clear that greater transparency in health insurance policies is needed for consumers to better understand what's available and to compare policies.

And with all these exclusions and the way the policies are put together.
