John McCain: “Do we have enough assets to do the job you want to do? Absolutely not.”

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 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.
