"I appreciate the Committee scheduling this hearing today to examine the importance of traditional and customary subsistence activities in our Native communities."

"This is exactly the type of leadership that we need that will help us get agencies, like the BIA and the BIE, off this High Risk List."

"I think that's a problem for us, Mr. Chairman."

"I only add this, Mr. Chairman, because I think it is imperative that, as we move nominees through the Committee, we work aggressively to get them through the full process."
