Jon Tester: “I want to start by telling everybody here what an honor it is to serve as chairman of this committee.”

I would say two things. Number one this administration has totally blown the opportunity to make government more efficient by going in with a -- with a -- with a meat cleaver and just hack up agencies.

This has been a phenomenon that we haven't had recently, where we've had other countries that have went into our airspace for the purpose of trying to gather information.

I think we need to take these things seriously. I think the president and I think, more importantly, the military are taking it very, very seriously.

This Crow Water bill in front of the Committee today is an excellent example of the good work that the Chairman is doing serving his tribe.
