From yesterday:
I rise in support of the nominations of three distinguished Native American leaders, Vince Logan, Keith Harper, and Diane Humetewa. These individuals have been nominated to positions that are crucial to Indian country and to our nation. It is our responsibility to make sure that they can begin this challenging work. I think it is fair to say that no one in this chairman is happy about how the nominations have been handled. There are reasons and frustrations on both sides of the aisle, and I understand that. But in the case of these nominees, it is long past time to act.
