From the transcript
Thank you, Senator Smith. I think it's important to note, and it was acknowledged at the hearing last week, that following on the Road to Housing that was signed into law, to make sure that we are doing right, as you say, Senator Smith, on our tribal trust responsibilities when it comes to the issue of housing. So this is more than timely, as is the arrival of Senator Cantwell. We now have a quorum present so we can get started. I would ask— we'll start with the amendment that I have filed to S. 5354.
