Your search for viable alternatives is one that has been reviewed for decades now.

This road is nonnegotiable, that the health and safety of the people of King Cove is nonnegotiable.

I am not an unreasonable woman, and I believe you want to do right as well.

The only thing that is standing in the way is our own Federal Government's decision to place a higher value on the birds than it does on the health and safety of my State's citizens.

I will never ever understand the timing of the decision, and I am still trying to reconcile the reasons behind your decision.

I would contend that the United States has lagged behind other nations in resourcing arctic requirements.

I'd like to understand how we are postured to resource our Nation's ever expanding role in the arctic region.

We can help our friends and allies. One where we can engage in an environment where as we seek to increase production domestically

I want to drill down a little bit here on the discussion of what we can do today to make a difference over in the Ukraine, have influence on Russia.

This has been, I think, a great hearing. Certainly a good way to kick off your first full committee hearing as chair

To be able to discuss our natural gas, our oil, our other resources as truly a strategic asset is something that, I think, is a remarkable story coming out of the United States.

I think signals could certainly be important. They have to be followed up by concrete action to have, ultimately have, the impact, not be temporary.

I continue to strongly oppose, strongly oppose, FDA approval of genetically engineered salmon.

Can you assure me that FDA is prepared to deny approval of the sale of GE salmon to consumers if your agency determines that it cannot guarantee that it's safe to eat?

I don't believe that the FDA has adequately studied the environmental effects, the economic impacts, not only on the wild salmon themselves, but our seafood markets, and let alone the potential health impacts on humans.

I think it is exceptionally important.

We must work together to address the unique challenges faced by our tribal communities.

I trust that system better than I trust somebody without talking to us making the formula.

I think he would be proud of this room and how it has been kind of transformed to reflect some of American Indian heritage.

The recapitalization of the Coast Guard's assets is a priority that we both share.

I want to thank you for your support of DHS operations in and around my State, including, but not limited to the United States Coast Guard.

I believe, first and foremost, that our priorities in the Arctic surround increasing commerce there.

I would ask if you would consider taking another look at the Coast Guard's home porting strategy.

How we handle that going forward is going to be something of interest.
