[Native American Affairs\Nuclear Radiation]
Senator Tom Udall: “Uranium mining played a key role in our country’s development of its nuclear arsenal during the Cold War. Much of that mining took place in Indian Country here in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and across the West – exposing uranium workers miners to toxic levels of radiation in the process.” My father, Stewart Udall, and I brought the stories of deceased Navajo uranium miners to light and sued on behalf of their widows for fair compensation by the federal government…Today’s hearing was about understanding the past and remedying past wrongs. It’s also a call to action for the present and future. “

[Climate Change]
Senator Cory Booker: “In FDR’s New Deal, the federal government planted billions of trees, provided conservation incentives to family farmers and ranchers, created hundreds of thousands of jobs in the Civilian Conservation Corps, and electrified rural America. In order to address the urgent and existential threat posed by climate change, all of these approaches should be part of our broader strategy.”
