The Public Record
John McCain was a prominent American politician and military officer who served as a United States Senator from Arizona from 1987 until his death in 2018. A member of the Republican Party, McCain was known for his bipartisan approach and commitment to national security.

Will you cooperate in providing witnesses and briefers in response to congressional requests?
Will you ensure that your staff complies with deadlines established for requested communications, including questions for the record in hearings?
It would be really shameful for us to lose this conflict because we are not addressing it adequately.
It seems to me that one of the mistakes that we have made in the past is dictating a number rather than assessing what missions need to be accomplished.
Should it not be wise at least to pause in our plans for further reductions and try to achieve some stability on the ground?
The view of many of us is that the security situation in Afghanistan has been deteriorating rather than improving.
One of the sources of concern to the Members of this Committee on both sides are the almost continuous announcements.
The world walked away from Afghanistan once before, and it descended into chaos that contributed to the worst terrorist attack ever against our Homeland.
It is time to immediately halt U.S. troop withdrawals and eliminate any target date for withdrawal.
Wars do not end because politicians say so, nor will any politician be able to schedule an end to the threat of radical Islamist terrorism
Mr. Fanning, has the Crow Tribe had official consultation meetings and have their concerns been addressed in this processed?

Mr. Fanning, can you point to me where in Corps or Army policy guidelines where it talks about 'usual and accustomed' 'de minimus' decisions prior to NEPA?
Mr. Fanning, what treaty rights are being violated by simply doing the environmental analysis?
Mr. Fanning, what other industrial projects like this have been denied without a full NEPA being completed?
This project would create millions in tax revenue and thousands of jobs for Northwest communities.
Some projects require permits from the Corps that entails review pursuant to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), National Historic Preservation Act, Endangered Species Act, and even Tribal Treaty Rights.
