GAO has called TSCA a 'high-risk area of law ripe for reform.'

Our servicemembers face enough peril, put themselves on the line day in and day out, and if there is an unseen danger tied to the electronics on which we depend, this is a very, very serious situation.

I hope everybody gets home safely.

It's a defective gene.

To speak to Ms. Krauss and others that if our parks can bring us closer together as Americans in all our various shapes, backgrounds, religions, cultural outlooks, all the better for the National Parks.

I think it's important to underline that even in our economy the role that our parks play.

Powerfully stated and completely on point.

I'm deeply committed because it has been my family to do so.

Churchill also said that you can always count on the Americans to do the right thing after they've tried everything else.

America's strength is her capacity to undo her mistakes.

We should go the extra mile to ensure that it doesn't happen moving forward.

The Federal Government supports the tribal historic preservation officers and the State historic preservation officers from the Historic Preservation Fund that has recently come under some attack.

I think starting with the tribe and then how much are we able to help.

I'm hopeful, by the way, that we will find a way forward and our economy will return to a robust condition and then we can look at making investments on the government side.

I think you can understand why I keep asking that question. It's both because I want to draw attention to the economic benefits of the parks, but I also want to look at ways to generate additional local and private sector support as well…

It's--what's important to note is that there are people who love this park who are far, far afield.

I did want to acknowledge the wonderful work that the MVF does.

I'm really happy to welcome you here.

It's great to see these children back here who have joined us.

Alright we'll get started with our second panel.

Do you have anything else you'd like to offer for the record at this point?

Would that be one of the other best practices, perhaps, that could be applied to other parks dealing with their cultural resources?

Thank you very much.

Will you provide for the record statistics on looting and vandalism in the National Park?

I know we have similar challenges on our forest and BLM and national wildlife units.
