We are living in kind of an extraordinary time in terms of our Constitution and what is unfolding.

I think it is one of the most transformative issues we can have in the 21st century.

The Administration's budget cuts are deep and wide and almost no area is spared, including infrastructure.

Many of these offices only have 2 people.

Eliminating a program like this Tribal Climate Resilience Program really hits to the heart of what tribes are trying to do to survive and continue their way of life.

those front line workers are the most important.

One of the most important missions facing DOE and our country today is the plutonium mission.

I am enormously impressed with the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP).

The actual construction backlog is $4.1 billion, is that correct?

The Administration sent a very concerning message about its priorities for Indian Country in fiscal year 2019.

This is a core priority for tribes.

Mr. Secretary, I hope you will put in the record the numbers that you cannot quite get off the top of your head now.

I am deeply concerned about the antibiotic overuse in livestock impacting the effectiveness of antimicrobials for use in animals and humans.

that DOE analysis ignored the Nuclear Weapons Council, DOE's own cost office, and Congressional direction.

I don't support the promise of something else down the road in exchange for not funding it now.

Do you agree that our effort to complete the existing stockpile stewardship program on time and at the best price for the taxpayer cannot afford to be distracted by new nuclear missions?

It is totally inadequate, an insult to Indian Country with sweeping, irrational cuts to tribal programs in an effort to reduce the Federal Government.

It appears the Administration's consultation with HHS and the Tribal-Interior Budget Council was just a check the box exercise.

The Administration's budget simply does not reflect Indian Country's priorities.

The Administration's rhetoric about respecting tribal sovereignty and investing in Indian Country simply does not align with this budget proposal.

there's a clear disincentive for them to work at the labs versus a private facility, which in many cases may pay more than a government job.

I wrote to the FTC, along with Senators Schumer and Blumenthal, asking for a workshop to discuss the increased use of 'bots'.

Like many Americans, I'm concerned about the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the last thing we need are new arms races around the world.

I strongly supported this undertaking when I testified before the Committee, and I continue to believe it can provide valuable instruction.

I believe the FTC has an obligation to engage in robust enforcement of the law to protect consumers and promote competition.
