Well, my time is expired, but know that we do want to follow up with you on this.

We don't have the luxury of time.

We have a trust and treaty obligation. That absolutely includes health care, education, housing, and so forth.

I hope that we can even find greater areas of how we can be working together to grow Alaska's role in our nation's economy or energy or mineral security, while also cherishing and protecting our lands, our people, and our culture.

I would strongly encourage EPA to explore some creative solutions to expedite these project awards.

I think that we can make a real difference for the State of Alaska, and we can make a real difference across the country.

I am going to be up in Fairbanks this weekend, and I can tell you this is going to be a hot, hot, hot topic there.

This is an environmental injustice that we have discussed, it is an environmental injustice caused by the Federal Government.

But all they talked about was the injustice that they felt in having been denied their native allotment.

I hope we are able to reconcile that. Let us know if we can be helpful.

I would simply urge the subcommittee here to utilize the terminology that is founded in the law, and the regs.

When I talk to communities in my state, they very much want to take on PFAS, but they are concerned about national regulations, and how they could, potentially, amount to new unfunded mandates.
