This lack of accountability.

People would be fired like that, and you know that as well as I do.

I would fully agree with Senator Cantwell that calling the Russians is not a good national strategy for the United States with regard to our interests in the Arctic.

I recognize the seasonality that goes with that, as well.

Five days is a long time if you're sinking in the Bering Sea.

Maybe you can lay out your analysis for the record, in terms of a question on that, relative to what is happening in the Arctic and relative to what the Russians are doing in the Arctic, and how you can say--it seems to me that three will…

And we will be invested in Alaska for the long haul, going forward.

Thirty-one States. That is a lot of States.

We also need to abide by the law or the Constitution, especially Federal agencies.

Even if we lose later, it took 5 years to get to the Supreme Court, everybody had to comply anyway, so who cares about the rule of law.

My State of Alaska has a lot of water and a lot of air and a very pristine environment.

But don't you think it has to be legal? Everything the EPA has to do has to be based in statute or the Constitution.

Justice Scalia said they were violating the separation of powers.

They are zero for three in the last Supreme Court.

I want to use this opportunity to reiterate my support for the Port's FASTLANE Grant.

I couldn't agree with you more.

If you're just repairing a bridge, to waive the permitting requirements because you're not hitting the ecosystem of the environment.

I think the FAST Act scratches the surface, but I think there is so much more we can do.

These lay out bridges that are being permitted, not new bridges, but just to be repaired.

I'd like your assurance to work with us to make sure that there is uniformity across the 50 states in recognition of ANC eligibility.

I just wish that your bill would have been able actually to have a vote on the bill because that is what we were trying to do, is bring certainty to this issue.

Five percent of the clean water jurisdiction in Alaska would be expansion of 15,000 square miles. That is 10 times the size of Rhode Island.

We did pass out of this Committee S. 1140, which would have provided very much detail, very much certainty on the WOTUS rule

An even 5 percent expansion of its own jurisdiction, its self-declared expansion in certain States can be an enormous expansion.

So I think that that needs to be stated.
