Brian Schatz

I want us to have a list of problems to troubleshoot on your behalf.

Remediation for contamination on sacred lands by the U.S. military must receive the highest priority given the United States' trust responsibility to Native Hawaiians.

Thank you, Chairman Schatz, for securing funding through the FY 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill to effectively defuel and shut down the Red Hill Bulk Storage Facility.

We request that this Committee continue its vigilance in providing the necessary oversight to ensure that additional transparency and mandatory input from the Native Hawaiian community is incorporated.

We thank the Committee and Senator Schatz for championing these bills in the 117th Congress.

Because we can only do our best work when we hear directly from the Native communities that we serve.

We need to ensure that federal resources are reaching the communities that need them most.

No decisions about us.

I want us to have a list of problems to troubleshoot on your behalf, and I want to be able to hand over a list to Mitch Landrieu and John Podesta.

Congress made a law here, you have to not make it impossible for them to participate.

We thank the Committee and Senator Schatz for championing these bills in the 117th Congress.

We are particularly grateful for your efforts to secure much-needed increases in funding through the Fiscal Year 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill to support the Native Hawaiian community.

If we pass a proper appropriations bill, fully funding your request, can you commit to meeting the deadlines and schedules already established for the improvements to NOTAM?

Should we expect flight delays and cancellations going forward if we defund or underfund these transformations?

I do think increasing--and increasing the sensitivity of the radars makes perfect sense.

I support the actions that were taken, but I don't see a downside to a signaling to any government that any violation of our airspace that is not inadvertent, and certainly any violation that is intentional and has a military component…

But that is what I am a little--first of all let us start with this. Did we just set a precedent?

I believe we established a deterrent line.

Did we just set a precedent?

Yes. I will yield. I withdraw my request. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Schatz). The Senator from New Jersey. ____________________
