We have many from all members, both sides, outstanding questions I think really need to be answered.

I sent a letter to the President in March urging him to continue the tradition of holding the White House Tribal Nations Conference.

The idea of taxpayer money going to private companies to dig for information this Committee should be able to get from Federal agencies already strikes me as wasteful and duplicative.

The entire Federal Government has a trust responsibility to the tribes.

I do not think you can say oh, we are going to indefinitely postpone it. The message should go to the Secretary that he reconvene the Review Committee and continue its statutorily mandated mission, which is I think tremendously important.

The problem with this is that is the entity to do the enforcement. If you are putting this in hiatus indefinitely, you have stopped the enforcement activities.

We support the bill. Great Plains does and the United Tribes of North Dakota.

We must work together to address the unique challenges faced by tribal nations.

I think what I've seen today, I've been here for a long time listening today to the testimony, there are a lot of good ideas, and hopefully we can find a bipartisan way to really deal with a very tough situation.

Congress should consider banning the use of unverified Social Security numbers in commerce.

This is an unacceptable practice for an organization with such power over consumers' lives.

We must do better if we genuinely want the Internet of Things to be a reality for rural connectivity.

This is not sustainable for rural healthcare providers, and it's not fair to patients in rural communities.

What companies need is sustainable, reliable funding and investment.

I worry that unless we act aggressively and with purpose now, rural America will be stuck with the Internet of nothing.

We support the prompt passage of the STOP Act and thank the Committee for its attention to this important matter.

Congress first passed the Indian Employment Tax Credit to create jobs in tribal communities but this important tax credit expired in 2016.

This is nothing short of the constitutional obligation of Congress to regulate trade among the Indian Nations.

That is a very good suggestion.

Congress must be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. Yes, we can pass a bipartisan tax package and yes, we can fully fund our tribal trust obligations at the same time.

The Majority's plan could very well force big cuts to the Indian Health Service and the Bureau of Indian Education.

97 percent of the scientists with articles in peer-reviewed journals have concluded that climate change is real.

Ninety-seven percent of the scientists with articles in peer reviewed journals have concluded that climate change is real, is caused by human activity, and is already causing devastating problems in our country and around the world.
