In northeastern Ohio, we have the problem with the emerald ash borer as well and its economic impact...

I just want to thank you for being here. We in northeastern Ohio and the Great Lakes, we have seen this all too often.

I appreciate the hard work that goes into educating people. It is much more than just a school.

It is just heartbreaking that we don't use what we have in place in local governments and tribal justice systems to be able to go after these offenders.

I was just wondering how you think we can make them account for the funding to show that they are being fair to Indian Country?

We pushed for protection and things like that, but we will see where it goes.

Thank you all for being here, and, Mic, thank you for your support on the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.

Thank you for being here today.

I have had the opportunity to visit some tribes. I am continuing to visit as many as I can so I can see firsthand some of the issues that you have been discussing.

I can appreciate the problems that you certainly have. It is something that we have studied, and the combination of the animals and the land and trying to find where we have that perfect match.

I am used to ladies being in charge on this committee.

We are happy with the process.

I also wanted to recognize Ranking Member Joyce has continued support for the Great Lakes Initiative.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of anti-Semitism. By educating our children on one of the cruelest times in human history, we can help eradicate the hatred that fuels these terrible acts. It is more important than ever before that…

As the designee of the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger), I move to strike the last word. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.

Apparently there is an individual who is en route who would like to speak on this amendment, but at this point in time I do not have a witness right here, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Certainly we want to help small businesses compete and able to be out there in the marketplace. But it requires having a competitive playing field.

The Great Lakes are a national treasure and that we should make a national investment in them

I applaud my colleagues for bringing the voices of their constituents to this hearing today.

There is nowhere you see more bipartisan agreement and less getting done than infrastructure in the 7 years I have been here.

The California IHS area is not receiving its fair share of purchased and referred care.

It is paramount to pass legislation to renew the program.

I want to thank you for the acknowledgement of my being elevated to co-chair of the ICCF Caucus along with Madam Chair, Henry Cuellar and Jeff Fortenberry.

Taxpayers deserve to have capabilities of online customer service that are consistent with other big financial institutions.

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?
