I just want to say, though, about what you are doing with respect to caregivers, that both the stress level and support out there are crucial to our communities in helping address this issue.

I have to say in the President's budget, and this is not for the hearing today, but the President completely zeros out the Great Lakes restoration initiative.

I want to see the outdoor recreation industry expand and provide folks visiting my state an incredible experience in exploring the wonderful beauty of Nevada.

I also know that Nevada is one of the driest states in the nation with only 9.63 inches of average annual rainfall.

But given the growing aging population, and you brought it up as well as constantly evolving technology that's out there that you talked about, that we know that makes scams easier to perpetrate, what additional resources or innovations…

I believe we need to preserve and repair our infrastructure in these natural areas for future generations.

I would like your thoughts with respect to the Bureau of Reclamation.

How would you rate that cooperation in the CFPB's ability to protect consumers?

I am very concerned that what the U.S. Geological Survey has done to protect the Great Lakes, developing toxins to kill sea lamprey, for instance, without harming other fish.

To me, that is the first step in prevention, and it never gets funded.

I have concerns about how that is going to impact our communities.

It was so important to put resources into the staff, both the prosecutors and investigators, who can investigate and prosecute for that fraud.

And do you think there is a good working relationship between the two of you in respecting those boundaries and then working together when necessary for consumer protection?

So can you commit that there won't be a rollback of antitrust protections intended to protect consumers?

I do not think that we should think that just because we have not imposed new sanctions up to this point that these sanctions are not going to have a continued effect.

We have had a discussion that I am hearing some of the barriers and things that we need to overcome.

I think that a primary effect of this removal had to do with signaling and the message that it sent to Russia and the global community about the interest of this group in holding to norms, particularly global norms, sovereignty, and what…

I am curious, though, how you see the role of State, and State legislatures, and the State law continuing down this path?

I am very proud of the fact that the FAA UAS test site in Reno partners with Federal agencies...

There is a lot of great work going on there with NASA and others.

Has Russia's suspension from the G-8 had any meaningful impact on their economy, their security, or their influence?

So you have a plan to do just that?

Nevada has the most public lands of any state in the nation.

What incentives should be available to support the renewable energy sector, especially as the ITC and PTC are phased out?

There is no doubt in my mind. There are attacks that have already occurred, will continue to occur and we need to be very proactive and work together to address this issue.
