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'm the luckiest guy on earth. I have served America's cause, the cause of our security and the security of our friends, the cause of freedom and equal justice all my adult life.

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

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