I thank Chair Grijalva for keeping the vision alive of educating our future leaders that will bring to us the solutions and resolutions of conflict issues around Native American self-determination and so much more. We feel the Udall Foundation's impact across our country, and certainly in New Mexico, from the Halls of Congress to environmental conflict resolution to our universities and students. In fact, New Mexico's very own Congresswoman Stansbury is a Udall Foundation alum, and over 255 American Indian and Alaska Native interns have worked in more than 60 congressional offices thanks to the foundation. This bill from Chair Grijalva will ensure that the Udall Foundation can continue to implement its valuable mission and work for years to come. I thank Chairman Grijalva for keeping this vision alive. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the bill.
