Mark Amodei

If this is knowingly or unknowingly prohibiting the opportunity for promotion from within, I just kind of want to know that you guys have thought about it

So with your sincere interest in apprenticeships, let me extend an invitation to you to come to Wisconsin.

I associate myself with the remarks from our ranking member on the subcommittee and on the committee about concern over the cuts to NIH that could be coming under the Trump budget.

Swift passage of The National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act of 2017 which was introduced earlier this year by Representative Mark Amodei (R-NV) in partnership with Senator Dean Heller (R-NV).

If you could, it would be much appreciated. And, again, anything on rural broadband would be awesome because we formed a Rural Broadband Caucus, bipartisan caucus.

So I would submit to you, ANC is a national treasure.

And my concern, and the reason for introducing the legislation, which I didn't do lightly, is my fear is that we have a de facto standard if these folks can't make it.

This application is a phenomenal and unique memorial request.

But I got to tell you, ANC is a phenomenal and unique national treasure.

I understand the primary mission of ANC.

I will concede the point that maybe your Reagan quote was better, and I want to welcome you to the Reagan quote club. We are glad to have you on board. Let me just say this. This seeks a level playing field. I think we have a 38-year…

And it astounds me more to think when the majority of your workforce is Native Americans, it is like, come on, folks, we are doing this to ourselves.

The most basic administerial functions of ensuring that tribes are helped when they have questions or concerns, the BIA has dragged their feet and allowed a congressional office to be more of an advocate.

I am going to give you a compilation of emails that the person on my D.C. staff has compiled over a period of 5 months trying to get two basic administerial questions answered on behalf of two tribes in my district that deal with detention.

They definitely modified it.

If NDOW has a different opinion on where the best of the best is, they have a different opinion.

How did Fish and Wildlife Service draw those lines?

I would imagine that the devil would be in the details: Who do you contribute to? How is it insulated from your concerns?

As we consider a budget that reflects our interests, our values and our needs, we have to start with responsible planning within our own walls.

I am concerned that we are not banking enough funds to save for future large-scale projects.

Congratulations on that. This subcommittee funded the $126 million needed to restore the dome and the rotunda to its former glory.

That seems like a very broad and inappropriate use of the petition, and, in my opinion, it probably should not have been documented--docketed.

It is like before we even get to well, this one was signed by the President and this one was signed by the Secretary, you know, it is like how do we react to those things because I got to pass a new law.

But when we talk about things like maps that were brought up earlier, and it is like, okay, we got a new map that has a PJ and an urban overlay to it, and the RMP amendment process is not nimble.

I do not want you to work on. Your first question is, the Forest Service said they got their sagebrush focal area boundaries over their real estate from Fish and Wildlife Service.
