John Hoeven actually said...

"I would like to thank you for holding this hearing."

"This brings me to the proposed Native American Child Safety Act currently introduced by Senators Hoeven and Tester and co-sponsored by Senators Barrasso and Heitkamp."

"The proposed legislation would, among other things, expand background check requirements for all adults residing in prospective foster care homes."

"This legislation is about making sure foster homes are safe, not only on our reservations in North Dakota, but across the Country."
