It is not just about education, it is about changing the culture to protect these young athletes for the future.

The threat of a catastrophic wildfire at Lake Tahoe is a top concern for the entire community in both states.

I also have concerns that not only did the USOC, the governing boards, and everyone else there failed these kids.

I respectfully request that this subcommittee hold additional hearings with the new leadership of the U.S. Olympic Committee, USA Gymnastics, and other national governing bodies.

It is a cultural change, so we have to be vigilant and constant.

We're much better off under a prescribed-fire scenario where we control the circumstances and the volumes.

It's clear there were systemic failures of an institutional culture that let our national/amateur sports programs become a hunting ground for predators, facilitating the appalling abuse of hundreds of children and young athletes.

It is absolutely critical that this body and the American public has the opportunity to hold to account the people responsible for these egregious failures.

And do you think that would have benefited in the past and we would have been able to protect these children much earlier, much sooner?

This is such an important conversation, and we have been having this, I know, on various committees that I sit on.

I do not think opioid abuse is immune in any community. Everybody is affected by it, including in the State of Nevada.

I appreciate your comments earlier, because this is something your agency is working on. And if you are not doing it, nobody else is.

I urged you to prohibit contract for deed mortgages.

That is good to hear, and however we can be helpful, please let me know or let us know.

my colleague and I--Senator Moore Capito--introduced legislation to be able to go after those fraudulent programs

How do we ensure we are funding those services and people are getting to the type of treatment they need?

it needs to be the beginning of getting that person to treatment.

I am concerned that FHFA subsidy for this single-family landlord is putting home ownership out of reach for many Nevadans.

We do not have enough affordable housing, both in our urban and rural areas.

Nevada ranks last among all States for providing affordable rental housing for its poorest families.
