Betty McCollum

I am not a big fan of executive orders either, so I share your pain with those.

I think it is something we are going to need to look at, the way that we are doing counseling and outreach.

When can we expect a followup and the supporting documents?

We are putting together an infrastructure bill, and I know that what we are looking at is green.

Ambient air monitoring is the only way to assure our communities... that the air they breathe is safe.

Thank you for sharing that, though, because they don't have the public witness for Native American improvements the way that we do.

We have to have access to water in order to be able to do that and keep you and your family safe.

we had $1.3 billion less than what we left the House with.

the President's budget request yesterday once ignored climate change.

No one is immune from climate change, especially not Native Americans, who are at the forefront of experiencing the effects of increasing temperature rises and water rising.

The majority of pollution of water right now, as we know, is coming from non-point source pollution runoff.

We want the funding to continue to move forth and Congress to continue to move those fundings to fund that program.

I have a lot of questions about the way that the plan has been presented in moving forward.

Chairwoman McCollum, you have been just a champion for the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

We are allowing our children to fall through the cracks, and that is something that we can't continue to do.

I think we need to have a conversation with the Transportation Committee and the authorizers about what we are going to do about America's roads, right, and make sure it is always including tribal roads as well.

Thank you, Chairwoman McCollum and Ranking Member Joyce for continuing to hold these tribal witness days.

I think it is fair to say that Indian Country programs manage to be a non-partisan issue on this committee.

Clean, safe water is the hallmark of an advanced society. And for too long, we have taken it for granted.

We look forward moving together to make sure that Indian Country has the justice it deserves.

We need to do a much, much better job.

When our last bill that Mr. Joyce and I worked on left here at the House, it has $1.3 billion more dollars in it than when it came back from conference committee.

most high schools don't even have an earth science class anymore.

my region, other regions like mine, we want to help you find the best solutions for your requirements

I want to thank you for shouting out for earth science.
