I want to raise an environmental injustice in Alaska, an issue against the Alaska Native people that unfortunately some people in this Administration consistently overlook.

The U.S. is the leader, leader by far of any country in the world on global greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

One thing that we do on this Committee is look at ways in which our veterans who are getting out, who are still on active duty, can plug into like the labor unions.

We have a great VA workforce in Alaska, but they have asked the identical questions on this timeline.

Well, why don't you guys try to come back to this Committee and give us your plans, and thoughts and ideas on it, because I think it is kind of a win-win.

It seems kind of like a self-inflicted wound, and this is directly what I am hearing from the VA employees in Alaska.
