These two bills center on the issue raised in the 2009 Supreme Court decision Carcieri v. Salazar.

Today, the Subcommittee is meeting to consider two bills.

Data impacts every facet of our life, from economic development to national security.

The U.S. territories are often excluded from or not fully included in Federal statistical data products.

The GAO found that the U.S. Federal statistical products often contain data gaps for the territories.

Today's hearing is entitled, 'Examining GAO's Findings to Address Data Gaps and Improve Data Collection in the Territories.'

I don't think that there is anything that epitomizes more the Democrats' obsession with abortion than bringing that issue in relation to an amendment as to whether the VA should be allowed to decommission kiosks for mileage reimbursement…

I will repeat, this is for the benefit of our veterans. This is a program that was not properly rolled out, and our veterans are the ones who have suffered as a consequence. They are the ones who have given their lives and their dedication…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

It is Congress' fault that you won't protect our reservation--

So, this is Congress' fault because you won't do your job?

Reservations have become part of the cartel's supply chain, and the Mexican cartels are intimidating Americans testifying before Congress, yet the FBI and DOJ are largely absent.

I want to turn to another serious issue, the infiltration of our Tribal communities by the Mexican cartels because of Joe Biden and Mayorkas' open border.

The coal industry currently employs 5,111 individuals... at an average wage of $95,000 per job.

Wyoming produces 40 percent of the nation's coal and... fees from coal produced on Federal lands support the Abandoned Mine Lands.

The BLM selected the No Leasing Alternative, which ends all Federal coal production in the Powder River Basin by 2041.

It is absolutely essential that we don't allow China and Russia to control such an essential market?

At this point you don't have a plan of action in place to address those lost jobs?

And you will provide that in response to my letter?

I want to make sure that we receive responses to our letters so that we can actually understand from NOAA what the data set is that you are using.
