I think all of us have our share of fault.

If you had to select one facility or one tribe as having a good arrangement, can you pick one so we can have a model prison?

I have participated in many hearings, and this is one of the most depressing, obviously.

So this is a model that Indian country should look at?

I just have one question, Mr. Chairman. I note that up until fiscal year 2003, the Department of Justice was expending about $34 million a year for facilities, and suddenly the following year it dropped to $5 million and now it is $2…

Are you sufficiently optimistic that the funding requirement may come down in the next 18 months?

Yes, sir. I'm still concerned about the process being used to develop this request.

I wish to associate myself with the remarks of the Chairman and to say to General Kadish I thank you very much for your tireless dedication to your country.

I rise to introduce a discussion draft bill that has been developed by Indian tribal governments to provide for the improvement of the management of Indian fish and wildlife resources and to reaffirm that tribal governments are the…

I shall long remember this day. I just hope my constituents will not consider me too old to be running for reelection. I thank my brother from Alaska and my leader from South Dakota. Those words will be cherished.

I commend everyone who has played an important role in these operations.

However, these ongoing operations have strained our troops.

Time and time again, the extraordinary ability of our men and women in uniform and all the people who work to support them has been demonstrated.

I suspect that these concerns will again be the subject of debate in Congress.

Climate is part of our way of life.

What is Government doing, or what can Government do, or what can we do to increase this industry?

Can you provide us with----

Last week on talk shows and at the hearing, I believe three witnesses, including you, Mr. Secretary, mentioned 18,000 military crimes being processed.

I, for one, am very concerned about the long-term effect it will have on our military recruiting and retention.

But now that we are engaged in this policy, we must simply find a way to see it through to a successful and swift conclusion.
