thank you for Grand Staircase Escalante and for Bears Ears.
We know that the rail network is obviously a critical component of our transportation system and frankly of the national economy.
I would be happy to talk with you a little bit about Grand Staircase Escalante.
I believe you are trying to thread a needle. I really do.
The Ortega regime was responsible for arbitrary or unlawful killings, torture, lack of independence in the judiciary.
Mr. Secretary, the country is lucky to have your willingness to serve, and we thank you for your service.
It is not just a Venezuelan problem.
I think the notion that that regime was a decaffeinated dictatorship is no longer the case.
It is not 25 percent. It is not a third. It is not a half. It is 1 percent.
You have been exceedingly forthright.
I don't think that you will see support on this committee for massive reductions.
