John McCain: “Please stay with us. This--I hope this is a one-time thing.”

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.

We owe each other our respect as long as our character merits respect.

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