John McCain: “And that decision is made by really smart people they hire that do----”

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.

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.

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