Mr. President, first I have got to acknowledge that I am not objective when it comes to Margaret Taylor, since I have had a chance to work with her. When I was the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, she was the legal…

What is clear to me is that there are provisions included in this legislation that support the restoration of the Rio Chama and the bosque, which I appreciate and I applaud.

Investments in the health and resilience of our forests not only reduces the risk of severe wildfires, it promotes the important bonds that many tribes have to the land and to cultural resources.

After this legislation become law, which I hope will happen during this Congress, I look forward to working with you in the years to come to restore the health of the river and the bosque for the pueblo and all others in that community as…

I know everyone listening today who is paying attention to this important hearing, there should be no question of the broad support that Vice Chair Murkowski has on this legislation.

What the Postal Service is telling them to do is just get the truck out no matter what they know is coming.

They need to be talking to employees. They need to know how long it takes to drive from Manchester, New Hampshire down to Boston at the height of rush hour.

In States like mine, we have been highly successful in getting absentee ballots in on time because Postal Service employees on the ground, citizens of New Hampshire, know what's at stake and they get their job done.

I want to thank you and the Ranking Member for holding a very important hearing.

There has been nothing convincing in their responses to us that they really have done the kind of due diligence they should do before this decision.

I continue to have concerns about any future plans to move operations from Manchester to Boston.

Mr. Chairman, I think you can hear, whether it is from Alaska and our lands up north to the lands as far south as New Mexico and Arizona, this is an issue that I think there is clearly common ground.

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that privileges of the floor be granted to my second session summer interns: Maddie McGowan, Mason Oney, Zayden Schijvens, Ben Lassey, Ellen Kennedy, Grayson McGuire, Kara Johnson, Mariana Low…

Madam President, I am here today to follow my colleague Senator Warren to discuss the legislation that we have been working on together, S. 1723. This is the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies Act. As Senator…

I think what Senator Lujan has said is worth noting, the economic opportunities that can be made available, the social and economic benefits if ANCSA lands are made eligible under TFPA.

I am really disappointed. Being here today we have had so many years of discussion, I have, my staff, tribal ANC leaders across the State.
