This is an area where we see rates that are, in my view, beyond intolerable.

I am very invested in and very focused on what is happening within clinical trials for ALS.

Newer technologies will bring us closer much faster.

I am pleased to be able to follow my colleague from Nebraska in urging us as Members of Congress--really, us as Americans--to come together in a show of solidarity as we speak about the awful war that we are seeing unfold in Israel; of the…

I would appreciate a commitment to working with NINDS to develop and sponsor programs to measure ALS progression using alternative methods.

If confirmed as NIH Director, I will work closely with you and with IC Directors to implement approaches that enable us to fund as many scientists as we can.

I have got a personal connection. I think so many of us do have a personal connection and we recognize just really the horrific progression of that.

there will be many opportunities in the next few days and in the weeks following to reflect on the life and the contributions of Senator Dianne Feinstein and, as has been noted, the significant legislation that she advanced over three…

If we could finish a project in three years, we would be happy. It just doesn't happen when your building season is really like three months long.

I have been a co-sponsor of Senator Bennet's resolution that clarifies and affirms that the United States' trust responsibility is to ensure water access.

We are seeing some improvement, we are starting to see some gains, connecting homes to sewer and water treatment systems in villages like Akiachak and Stebbins.

It should shock us as Alaskans. It should shock us as Americans that basic, basic matters like safe water, drinking water, basic sanitation needs are still so unmet in so many places.

Alaskans living in communities without access to running water are five times more likely to be hospitalized for lower respiratory tract infections.

The federal government has a trust responsibility to protect the water rights of Native peoples.

I have been a co-sponsor of Senator Bennet's resolution that clarifies and affirms that the United States' trust responsibility is to ensure water access.

I want to shift to the issue that you raised, Ms. Davidson.

We are seeing some improvement, we are starting to see some gains, connecting homes to sewer and water treatment systems in villages like Akiachak and Stebbins.

According to the IHS, one in ten Native Americans lacks access to clean water or indoor plumbing.

In Alaska, roughly 20 percent of Native homes don't have an adequate supply of clean water or a connection to a sewer system.

Alaskans living in communities without access to running water are five times more likely to be hospitalized for lower respiratory tract infections.

The federal government has a trust responsibility to protect the water rights of Native peoples.

We would encourage you to look at that. Again, I don't think anybody feels like we need to have another study to know that we have a very extensive list when it comes to O&M needs.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

But I don't want to be in a position where we have finally answered people's prayers by saying, you are going to get all this Federal money, there is a lot in the pipeline, but then we just can't stuff it into the limited capacity pie that…
