John McCain: “If confirmed, Mr. Sheehan and Mr. Lippert would play a key role in guiding Department of Defense (DOD) policy.”

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.

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

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.
