John McCain: “An increasingly stable and secure Afghanistan is the best way to do that.”

I want to say to all of you that I am so honored to be here to speak before this Committee.

Have you read about the FAST Act? Oh, yes. We have read about it but we really do not, you know, have to, like, pay a lot of attention to it.

These are not just any jobs. These are well-paying jobs that keep a lot of people employed.

I especially want to acknowledge the leadership of Senator McCain of Arizona who introduced the Native American Languages Act (NALA) in 1990.
