I arrived in Great Falls last week, and they informed me that the airport there in Great Falls was not going to be able to process those international flights anymore.

I recently sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and you on the increased rate of drug smuggling across the Northern Border by low-flying aircraft.

I think a reappointment with a different person would not help you and your position at all.

I think we need technology as a comprehensive part of that.

You've got a very difficult job, and I appreciate the work you do.

Overall in the bill, just for the record, we have added 370,000 acres of recreation area for exactly that--snowmobiles. That doesn't solve the problem on Mount Jefferson of the 4,400 acres, but we will continue to work with the Senator…

The North Fork of the Flathead is a true gem of Montana, and this clarification will help us cooperate with Canada to build upon the historic agreement between British Columbia and Montana, and establish permanent protections.

[CPSIA] has created a well-documented safety hazard for children, severe and unwarranted disruption to families who recreate together, and a deleterious effect on youth amateur racing.

I want to say thank you. When I go back to Montana, they say thank you to you, and for the good work that you have done.

I think it is important. I think any time we can empower Indian Country, it is beneficial to everybody.

I just don't understand why that language is in there. I just don't get it. I think it is a given, that is all.

No one knows the needs of a sovereign Indian tribe better than the tribe itself.

We need to make sure that the Federal Government is an effective partner to tribes like Red Lake and Mille Lacs.

My hope is that through your investigations we will finally be able to understand the full size and scope and its potential impact to the financial markets.

I think it is important that we pay attention to this issue because I do not think there has been adequate attention paid to this issue.

At a minimum, we need to understand these risks before the Fed moves forward.

Some heads have to roll if they are giving that kind of advice.

The misalignment of the servicer incentives with homeowners and investors, I think, is a recipe for disaster.

It is pretty wild to even think it is possible.

I am very deeply troubled about some of the allegations that have been made about improper fraudulent servicing and foreclosure processing.

I think it is absolutely critical.

There is no doubt in my mind this is not isolated.

I think it's about time to wrap this up. We had a good hearing.

I think we're going to make a proposal to have all our Senate Indian Affairs hearings here; how's that?

Thank you for your advocacy on behalf of the Indian tribes.
