Certainly if you went and spent $20,000 cash on a car, you would kick off a SARS, and if you come in to pay your taxes with $100,000 in cash, please come on in. You know, we will gladly accept it.

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.

Terrorists and international crime organizations have used different methods in which to avoid detection by the Treasury.

With all due respect, sir, these are consumers. I mean, these are our veterans, and they deserve better treatment.

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…

I, for one, would disagree with the chairman in that I don't believe that more visibility and cameras in the courtroom would be any good.

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.

During my time as a county prosecutor, I used to represent a board of elections.

What other proactive steps can local election officials take to ensure personnel are adequately prepared or trained for these type of scenarios?

With all due respect, in 2018 Ohio used Help America Vote Act grant funds to host regional tabletop exercises for election officials.

And there is no good reason today, in 2019, to have a system that does not use paper ballots.

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?

It is something that we are going to continue to do what we can here to make sure that we at least have the funding to try to honor those obligations that we have already entered into.

I fully recognize that the Federal government has not lived up to their end of the obligation to the tribal nations.

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

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.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the tribal elders and leaders that are here today.

If somebody put up a bill to try to make Narcan available, they end up having a lot of people say, well, if you hear a story of it being abused like that, then why are we even doing it. These are still lives.

I certainly appreciate it. My sister is a juvenile diabetic and having watched her all my life, I can appreciate the work that goes into it.

Fortunately, I have a great friend and partner in Chairwoman McCollum, and it is my sincere hope that together we will continue the hard work of our predecessors for more than a decade to increase the Federal commitment to meeting those…

The simple fact is that these airstrips save lives, and for that reason are worth the small investment needed to maintain them.

I reiterate our support for the Land and Water Conservation Fund in the fiscal year 2020 Interior appropriations bill.

I recognize that upholding the tribal trust obligation is a responsibility shared by all members of Congress regardless of their congressional district.

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…

Those of us in Congress should promote public-private initiatives like the National Heritage Area Program, and I will continue to work with my colleagues to support this program.
