"If we expect other nations to trust us, to live up to our global commitments, we have to keep our promises right here at home too."

"Not getting that done would be catastrophic for our economy, so I hope we can do this in a straightforward, bipartisan way, as we have many times under both Republican and Democratic leadership."

"We have to make sure our nation lives up to its commitment to our tribes, providing the necessary Federal support and honoring our commitment to their sovereignty."

"we need to get ahead of this now to protect the native crab populations."
