Jeff Flake

Senator Flake saying that there are ideas up here on Capitol Hill percolating that give him confidence that a shutdown can be avoided.

It is nice to have Senator Smith on the Subcommittee.

The words used by the president as related to me directly following the meeting by those in attendance were not tough. They were abhorrent and repulsive.

The hearing record will stay open for another day.

I do not know how in the world we can move forward with additional nominations or confirmations until that is done and completed and we have a recommendation.

I think it is a--well past time for this assessment to be completed.

I have looked forward to this day for a long time, when they would have free and fair elections, and maybe have a post-Robert Mugabe era.

Ensuring a level playing field for America's aviation industry is of utmost importance.

This hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations committee will come to order.

These are the messages from a person who is not well, from a leader who is not fit for office.

This is not a partisan issue, our response to Zimbabwe and our hope that we can have a brighter and more democratic future.

Zanu-PF has been rewarded. Every time it has used violence for political ends, it has worked.

Usually it is a pretty good rule of thumb that when somebody dressed in fatigues who has just taken over the broadcast facilities gives a statement, that is usually what it feels like.

I just want to say on the record how much I have enjoyed serving with the Senator from Alabama. He has meant a great deal to this institution, to this body during his short time here, and it is sad to see him go. ____________________

There is a great partnership between the tribes and the State and with our office will have to try to advance this settlement and others.

Dr. Clarke, you make a very compelling case for what this settlement means for the economy of the Hualapai people.

I think the non-Federal contributions in the settlement are larger than other completed or pending settlements.

I am pleased with the commitments we have received from Secretary Zinke to work with me to advance the settlement.

Exclusively to the Hualapai, no non-Indian uses.

Will any of the infrastructure contemplated in the bill, the Hualapai bill, serve non-Indian entities?

This legislation is an important step that the State of Arizona needs to take, both for the sake of the Hualapai Tribe and for all of us in Arizona who depend on Colorado River water.

I am frustrated that this administration continues to overlook the significant contributions by the tribe, Freeport Minerals, and the State.

This is a widely supported settlement and I am pleased to see representatives from other parties to this settlement.

This is critically important to have some surety moving ahead in terms of the disposition of Colorado River water and the settlement claims of the Hualapai.

We have got to have a situation where the Congress is more involved here.
