Lisa Murkowski

It seems to me that revoking Title 42 is going to be creating more problems than it will resolve.

I'm just asking if you can commit to overseeing that timeline to ensure that we're not going to have this significant gap between now and 2027.

We need the workers and the H-2B workers have been a critical piece of how we're able to advance our strong fisheries.

Roe is still the law of the land. We don`t know the direction that this decision may ultimately take. But if -- if it goes in the direction that this leaked copy has indicated, I would just tell you that it rocks my confidence in the Court…

The draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade has rocked her confidence in the Supreme Court.

I am thankful that you have stressed the importance of supporting Arctic operations, the training, and equipment for our Joint Forces in this important region.

Obviously the Javelins have the ability to significantly help Ukrainian forces, but what we are hearing is that the new Ukrainian troops are not provided adequate training to operate these $200,000 weapons systems.

We are in a unique position, as you know, in Alaska providing the only location supporting both short- and long-range hypersonic weapons testing.

If it goes in the direction that this leaked copy has indicated, I will just tell you that it rocks my confidence in the court right now.

What we're really trying to do here, is to be able to provide a level of justice in areas in my State, where they simply have none.

I want to make sure that we're not in a situation where we're looking again, realizing we're not measuring up here.

Service members who need behavioral health support should have access to timely treatment--ideally within two weeks, not 2 months.

In December, Senator Murkowski and I led a letter with twenty of our colleagues to Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness Skelly regarding this issue and requesting a briefing.

More research is needed to better understand the regional differences in suicide mortality across the United States.

I am pleased that the Department responded by swiftly providing that briefing--during which DoD officials referred to a report expected this month containing the first analysis of firefighter blood samples from last year.

Congratulations. It is wonderful to have you as part of our Committee, and the leadership that you present.

Access to epidemiological data is vital for TECs to provide accurate and timely public health information.

He had a passion for the people of Alaska, but most notably, the Alaska Native people.

As Senator Murkowski mentioned, tribal epidemiology centers were denied access to CDC data on tribes, which could have expedited our public health response.

I will limit my comments to the bill that I am co-leading with Senator Smith.

His legacy in focusing on matters that were important and timely for Native peoples around our Country is something that we will continue to pay tribute and recognize his contributions.

We need to ensure that we are addressing the needs of our tribal communities.

We all recognize that this pandemic has been very, very hard on American Indians, Alaska Natives.

I look forward to receiving an update on that.

I would hope that my colleagues on the Committee will be there to support this measure.
