John McCain: “I have to tell the witnesses that we have not been kept up to speed as much as we should have been.”

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.

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

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