I am wondering what impact formal consultation would have between HHS and Urban Indian Organizations.

I come to the floor today, along with my colleagues, because Americans are continuing to take a financial hit with more expensive, less reliable energy resulting from the Biden administration's harmful energy agenda. In the middle of the…

I rise today, again, regarding the need to secure our southern border. Right now there is a caravan of migrants making its way to Mexico through the southern border. Media reports that it could be the largest caravan ever, growing to…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Streamlining the Indian Health Service to operate as a healthcare system as opposed to individual operations is critical.

I would like to acknowledge the absence of Vice Chairman Murkowski who could not be here with us today.

The health disparities faced by Native Americans must be addressed with urgency and commitment.

In 2017, IHS was listed on the Government Accountability Office's GAO High Risk List, 2017.

I really think that is an area where you can have a big impact.

We can't be--we are the only dual nuclear base, and we are behind everybody else, and we keep getting pushed back. That is not acceptable.

Okay. Well, we are concerned it is going to take you above that range, and so again we want to make sure that that--you know, that those increases do keep it in that range, and we are not getting above it.

In other words, you are going to continue on?

Livestock Indemnity Program, again, we appreciate that, we have had blizzards, we have had some calf mortality, not only in our state but other places.

The Department of AG touches the lives of all Americans every day, and in every way.

Okay. And so when do you anticipate funding announcements then for round three?

I have asked if you would work on adjustment there.

We appreciate the working relationship. The emergency livestock relief assistance is out there for the livestock producers.

And once it is out, we would like you to have somebody get out there with us, and talk to the livestock groups, or in this case the commodity groups, the farm groups, so we can explain it, if that would--if that is something that you would…

Meaning you're just going to have more people come across faster. Your plan is designed to have more people come across faster. Is that what you're saying?

How many people through Remain in Mexico have you enforced under the Supreme Court directive? Because last I checked, it was about 400 people total.

1.7 million illegal encounters last year, more than one million so far this year.

The plan, the six-point plan that you put forward is simply a plan to have more people come through faster and to process them quicker.

Why don't you enforce the tools you have?

The Supreme Court told you to enforce the Migrant Protection Protocol. That decision came down in August. Why are you not enforcing it?

You don't need to explain what it is to me. My question to you is when the Administration lifts it and you're already at more than a million illegal encounters this year, what are you going to do because that number's going to go up…
