Brian Schatz said "Mr. President, I want to urge passage of an amendment to reauthorize this critical housing law for American Indians, Native Hawaiians, and Alaska Natives, NAHASDA. This amendment would reauthorize NAHASDA for 7 years, promote greater local control over NAHASDA programs, streamline environmental reviews for Native housing projects, and incentivize private partnerships. Senator Murkowski and I introduced a stand-alone bill to reauthorize NAHASDA, which cleared our committee unanimously. This amendment is an important win for Native communities to address their urgent housing needs. It has gone through regular order and has been well studied for years. I urge my colleagues to vote yes on this important measure. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Alaska." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
