Economic development and the capital necessary for that development are significant needs in Indian communities.

Fostering the success of Native-owned firms is something MBDA takes seriously.

As Chairman, I have made it a priority to focus on issues that will help Indian communities to prosper and to enjoy healthier lives.

I think it will help the Department of Energy restore confidence in its own management of the public stockpile of excess uranium if we could have this, sort of, transparencies.

I am deeply troubled that Traxys has hired Mr. Poneman.

I think transparency and accountability are key.

I am deeply troubled by the decision of these private companies to hire Mr. Poneman.
