John McCain: “Russia's actions to bolster Assad increase the imperative of support for the moderate opposition and Syrian civilians.”

I have to recognize that it has been this body, this Senate Committee, very important Committee on Indian Affairs that has been helping us.

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

Six years is still too long.

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