Betty McCollum

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.

Countries oppress people. In this case, the Navajo people had been oppressed.

Reform and change is difficult. Doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, but I think a little more due diligence needs to happen.

In my opinion, it is just too confusing. People want to recycle, and they think they are recycling, but they are not because the packaging is so varied and so confusing for folks.

And when you help a veteran, you help their family, and I say that as a daughter of a veteran.

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.

I ask that you fund the NEH at $170 million for the Fiscal Year of 2021.

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.

The Navy is treating the Arctic region with the concern that I believe it warrants, given Russia and China's increased activities in the region.

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

We have to take a really serious look, especially along the northern border because so many of our States and the Canadian provinces, we have memorandums of understanding to help each other out.

we need to work with a bigger allocation.

meth is still a problem. And there has been such a focus on opioids, and rightly so...
