Your leadership in the House over the decades in this area has been extraordinary. And as the Chairman of the Interior Appropriations Committee, where we work on these budgets, I know that Indian country and native people across America have a good, strong leader in support over there [in the House]. So we appreciate your words on behalf of this nominee and again, your good work over on the House side. That's very kind of you, Madam Chair. Thank you very much. (05:41–05:57)
