Political Quotes

“my Montana colleagues, Congressman Gianforte and Senator Tester, and I have worked for years to bring Federal recognition to the Little Shell Tribe, and for the first time, we are just one vote away from making it happen. Congressman Gianforte championed his bill through the House with unanimous votes in the committee and on the floor. When it came to the Senate, Senator Tester and I pressed it, also by unanimous consent, through the Indian Affairs Committee. Now, with just hours left in the 115th Congress, we need to pass this important bill out of the Senate and get it on the President's desk. The Little Shell Tribe has waited for lifetimes. It should not have to wait another year to get this done. Therefore, in the fashion of all of the previous votes on this bill that have had strong bipartisan support, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 574, H.R. 3764. I ask unanimous consent that the bill be considered read a third time and passed and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Senator from Utah.”
