Now is not the time to cut carp out of the budget at Interior. We must continue our efforts to prevent this invasive species from devastating the $7 billion Great Lakes fishing industry that we have.

Going forward, is there a way to eliminate that and still allow the system to be operable or have somebody be able to repair a malfunction without allowing something in?

I appreciate the opportunity to spend the last 2 days listening to dozens of witnesses who have testified about the IHS, BIA, BIE, and our failure to live up to our treaties and obligations and our need to do so.

Do you think putting a bounty on Asian carp for the contract fisheries is the way to go?

if there is any agency of the Federal Government that would like to move to the 14th District of Ohio, we would welcome them with open arms.

And while I have found all this to be fascinating if, in fact, there was some movement of this office, we could have some lovely land in the 14th District of Ohio on Lake Erie there that would provide a beautiful setting for the--all…

Will you look into this matter? And if the exclusion was, in fact, inadvertent, could you do what you can to ensure that the final regulations include tribal governments and lands held for these tribes in trust?

I would like to see more of that sharing because I think the most important thing we can do is continue to work as a team.

I look forward to working with you during the fiscal year 2020 appropriations process to evaluate the effectiveness of the programs discussed today and make those difficult, but necessary, choices among competing priorities in the Interior…

Similar to the opioid addiction crisis being unfortunately a nationwide issue, we have a primary care physician shortage that is also a nationwide issue.

It shifts your focus from the law enforcement side of people being in possession of a drug to saving people's lives.

I strongly support increased coordination between the Federal agencies, States, Tribes and local entities.

It is not a lake or a series of lakes; it is a national treasure, containing 85 percent of the fresh surface water in North America.

If cuts were going to be made, I understand that, sir, but if there are going to be any cuts, could you provide examples of what initial projects would be significantly curtailed?

this lottery system is just totally, totally unfair and inconsiderate of businesses that have been out there for years

If I may be so rude as to invite myself if you would ever go to see these Asian carp operations...

we need immediately substantial H-2B visa cap relief, and we must do everything we can to urge Secretary Nielsen
