I thank you very much, Mr. Davis, for your testimony, and we will most certainly look into the Lautenberg-Rubio bill.
The United States has a trust relationship with Native Hawaiians as indigenous people of these islands of the State of Hawaii.
This sequestration, coupled with projected discretionary defense spending, could add 1 percent to the national unemployment rate from job losses.
Congress has understood this relationship for a long time, and began legislating to meet its trust responsibility--can you imagine--over 90 years ago.
