I am appreciative of Rep. Huffman for including it in his bill and working with the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) to do so.

I fear that this will only make the world's fishery problems worse.

Although I commend my colleague, Rep. Huffman, for understanding the crucial role MSA plays in the management of our nation's fisheries, I do have concerns with his bill.

Let's work a bill, like you say, bipartisanly and try to get to the situation where it needs improvement.

But the big thing is, it doesn't do any good to get on the board or the council if they don't have the authority.

I do believe that it has worked well. Can we improve on it? Yes.

I would like to say I wrote the bill with a lot of good staff help. Me and Gerry Studds, he was the Chairman, and we saw the problems we were faced with at that time of foreign fishing fleets invading our waters all the way up to 12 miles…

With all due respect, sir, best available information sometimes isn't any information at all.

God bless you. Interesting hearing.

I believe in statehood. I believe in Jenniffer's bill. I think it is time... Let's have the vote. Let's become a state, the 51st state.

The American public is finally starting to understand a truth long known to those in our industry: Our Nation cannot achieve its clean energy goals without copper.

We believe H.R. 1884, otherwise known as the 'Save Oak Flat Act,' would cause irreparable harm to the economy of Arizona's Copper Corridor.

This is a very controversial issue, and I am always interested in the conflict.

I am a little frustrated when everybody says no to everything, but there is some legitimacy in the complaints.

When he championed his amendments to the Violence Against Women Act, Congressman Young urged Congress to embrace an Alaska solution to an Alaska problem resulting from Alaska's unique history.

With leadership from Chairman Larsen and Congressman Don Young, we look forward to re-introducing the Promoting Service in Transportation Act during this Congress.

I will say that that's the responsibility of the President. President Biden has chosen Deb, and she has accepted.

I urge a confirmation of Deb for the Secretary of Interior.

I have a theory, because I'm a mariner, that a captain of the ship has a right to choose who he has as his crew.

I am quite proud of that fact--Alaska Natives and American Indians, and like you mentioned, it's long overdue...

We applaud Rep. Young (R-AK) for introducing legislation directing FAA to issue a performance-based regulation.

Keeping promises starts with ensuring that Federal spending better reflects trust and treaty obligations.

Representatives Don Young, Deb Haaland, Tom Cole, and Norma Torres introduced the Indian Buffalo Management Act.

This committee has stood with Indian Country, stood with us when we looked at the quiet crisis and the broken promises

The need is there and the longer we wait to address the needs the direr the situation will become.
