John McCain: “General Paxton, when do you think this next phase will start?”

Six years is still too long.

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

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