OK. And is there anything at a Federal level we should be doing to support and assist?

I'm very excited to have representatives--actually, there's three on the panel right now that have a footprint in Nevada in some form or fashion.

Absent congressional support, there's no realistic pathway to think differently, much less do differently, relative to transportation.

I think in order to make a difference to Putin, again, this requires Presidential engagement immediately after those actions were taken.

Last week the Washington Post reported that President Trump agreed to a new strategy for Syria that may include new Russia sanctions.

It was painful for me personally to learn about this promise to Putin.

Congress passed a resolution condemning Trump's statement not long after that, but some of us feel we have a duty to the men and women who have served this country to do more to protect them.

I cannot think beyond the sanctions that already have been discussed here--which are, I think, a sustained and a long-term process.

we're always trying to find a sweet spot between advancing innovation and considering things, like you've heard from my colleague, cybersecurity, safety, and privacy

I worked to ensure the Committee addressed a number of areas of concern for me and my home state of Nevada.

innovation is very important and I'd be happy to be part of that team and work collaboratively

I will assure that the Office of Aviation and International Affairs continues to provide transportation-related technical expertise.

we need to bring in these other dimensions and make sure that we're working as an ecosystem, not just purely the technology piece

The reforms will give the U.S. Government enhanced capacity to protect our critical technology and infrastructure.

the Federal Government's role on innovation is a big priority of mine

The Federal Government's role in innovation is a big priority of mine, and we need to ensure that any office in charge of this issue is being transparent.

I would hope that we continue to promote that, because oftentimes our elders, our fluent speakers have not been part of education.

Additionally, the Pyramid Lake Paiutes just hired a cultural coordinator, and her name is Heidi Barlese.

Now, I know not all the Tribes have the resources to hire a cultural coordinator...

The success of this program is why I have sponsored S. 254, the Esther Martinez Native Language Preservation Act.

These are galloping fires that cross rivers, so we have to have strong protections to deal with fire.

I also ask for support from you and your staff to help solve and resolve this issue as expediently as possible, and I look forward to working with you.

Thank you. I want to thank the Chairman and Ranking Member for this hearing and for all of you for traveling here.

The language is the core of the Tribe's culture and identity.

We want a citizen-driven solution to this, but then one that incorporates everyone's input.
