Harry Reid

I have said that we have made it a priority at SAMHSA to make our resources available in Indian Country.

Any time there is a situation where 900,000 of our youth, 900,000 a year, plan their own death, and 712,000 of those youth actually attempt it, that, I would say, qualifies as a public health crisis.

It takes huge courage to do what Senator Reid did, what Ms. Jetty did, and what her family did...

Suicide is a huge problem in this Country, with 32,000 deaths a year.

Forty percent of the health care needs of American Indians are unmet.

It ought to be headline news in newspapers because it is a scandal.

It is a shameful thing that ought to be headline news across this Country.

I support efforts of Federal agencies, public-private partnerships, tribes and others who develop and provide suicide prevention treatment programs are vitally important.

I came to the realization that suicide was a national problem, not my problem, not my family's problem, not Nevada's problem, but a national problem.

No one should be embarrassed about this. No one should feel it is their fault.

Holding this hearing is so vitally important, and your dedication to improving and saving the lives of Native Americans, particularly our kids.

This issue of suicide is very personal to me.

Suicide is preventable and help is available.

We ought to go read the treaties.

We're so fortunate we were able to get it passed. It's going to give this country a shot in the arm.

More than one-third of this bill is dedicated to providing tax relief for middle class families; cutting taxes for 95 percent of American workers.

I wish we could outlaw polls. I think they are one of the things that hurt the body politic. I don't believe in them. I don't watch what they say. I don't care about them. But I can read them. We were all present at a meeting yesterday…

We are going to work until we get it done. There are a number of Senators working in good faith to try to come up with a proposal that will pick up a number of Republican votes. This legislation is very important. The reason we need to…

In the best tradition of Department of Justice, he will serve in a manner blind to partisanship, blind to politics, and--rule of law.

We're all grateful for every one of these fine people who work with us.

I believe we are a better country because of people like Ron Weich.

Ron Weich is one such person who has worked for me as part of my senior staff for 4 years.

Ron Weich will play an integral role, an integral part, rebuilding the Department of Justice to the once-again place where all are equal under the law, all are protected by the law, and no one is above the law.
