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

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

You spoke very idealistically about your company, and you talked about the strong values and you said you wanted to be a positive force in the community and the world.

I cannot guarantee that because this is an ongoing arms race.

The biggest thing you can do is to be a strong advocate yourself personally here in Washington.

What I can commit is that we are going to invest significantly because this is a top priority.

What specific steps are you taking to ensure that foreign money is not financing political or issue ads?

Are you going to come back and be a strong advocate to see that that law is passed?

last Wednesday, in Arizona, at the Grand Canyon, a number of us gathered to honor Mo Udall and John McCain and their friendship and partnership, which made America a lot better. For months, John was looking forward to this gathering. He…

Can I get your commitment that you will meet regularly with New Mexico's tribal leaders to develop your office's Indian Country public safety priorities?

Thank you so much, Senator Daines.

Just last December, DOJ's OIG released a report confirming what tribes have told us.

Funding for social safety net programs is very much linked with healthcare programs.

I would just urge you if you're going down the road, if the President's going down the road to unilateral withdrawal--I would also urge you to talk to Secretary Perry.

Will you also commit to reviewing your office's Indian Country declination rates and working with tribal leaders to identify and resolve any barriers to prosecution?

So is it fair to say that unilateral withdrawal has been taken off the table?

Any cuts to tribal programs hamper the tribe's ability to sufficiently provide services to its members.

I would like to thank you for holding the hearing, 'Opioids in Indian Country: Beyond the Crisis to Healing the Community.'

Could Congress help encourage more fruitful partnerships by providing tribes with their own direct funding?
