April 15, 2021 The Honorable Deb Haaland Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, N.W. Washington DC 20240 Dear Secretary Haaland: We write in support of the Antiquities Act and the critical role it plays in protecting our nation’s most important and endangered places. Since 1906, sixteen presidents have used the Antiquities Act to protect places across our nation. From Chaco Canyon in New Mexico to Harriet Tubman’s house in Maryland, the Antiquities Act has long protected key landscapes and historical sites. National monuments protect our most precious natural, cultural, and historical resources, and threats to the integrity of any monuments established under the Antiquities Act threaten the protection of all monuments. During your confirmation process, you committed to undertaking a thorough review of the Antiquities Act proclamations of the previous Administration. Former President Trump illegally attempted to reduce the protections provided by proclamations that previous presidents issued. We urge you to defend the Antiquities Act and recommend that President Biden review President Trump’s actions and undo any unlawful attacks on the Antiquities Act. We thank you for your commitment to the conservation of our nation’s most important places and history. Sincerely, _______________________________/s/ Martin Heinrich _______________________________/s/ Ben Ray Luján Martin Heinrich Ben Ray Luján United States Senator United States Senator _______________________________/s/ RichardTammy BaldwinJ.

The Honorable Chris Van Hollen Chairman Committee On
June 22, 2021 The Honorable Chris Van Hollen The Honorable Cindy Hyde-Smith Chairman Ranking Member Committee on Appropriations Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Services 110 Hart Senate Office Building 702 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Van Hollen and Ranking Member Hyde-Smith: We write in strong suppmt of funding the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Program, most recently reauthorized by section 8203 of Subtitle K of the SUPPORT Act (P.L. 115-271 ), and the training and technical assistance authorized by section 8204 of the Act from within the appropriated amount for this program at the highest possible level in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022. For FY 2021, these programs were funded at $102 million and $2.5 million. In the midst of the devastating drug overdose epidemic, the DFC Program warrants the highest possible funding level because it has proven effective in reducing youth substance use. According to independent research in communities where DFC coalitions exist, rates of past thirty-day use among middle school students for alcohol, tobacco and marijuana declined by twelve, thirty-six, and eight percent, respectively. Among high school students, rates for alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and prescription drugs declined by mtenty-four, thirty-nine, seven, and thirty percent, respectively. (ICF International, National Evaluation of the Drug-Free Communities Support Program, March 2021 Report) DFC coalitions exist in 733 communities across the nation and provide support to 2.4 million middle school students and 3.4 million high school students. TI1e program requires a community to demonstrate local commitment before it is eligible to receive federal funds, which means that at least twelve sectors within the community must come together to plan and implement evidence-based programs that will meet the community's unique needs in reducing drug use.

The DLT grant program assists rural and tribal communities in acquiring distance learning and telemedical technologies so that local teachers and medical service providers can connect to educators and medical professionals in other parts of the country. Since 1994, the DLT grant program has helped to establish hundreds of distance learning and telemedicine systems, improving the quality of life for thousands of residents in rural communities all across the United States. DLT specifically helps rural communities invest in telecommunications-enabled information, audio and visual equipment, and advanced technologies to assist its residents in accessing educational and health care services. Recipients have used the program to provide distance learning paramedic courses to first responders, improve access to specialty health education, and establish partnerships between rural high schools and community colleges. Recent DLT recipients have used the grants to help address opioid abuse treatment and mental health counseling in rural America. These educational and health services are vital.

June 28, 2021 The Honorable Christopher Coons The Honorable Lindsey Graham Chairman Ranking Member Subcommittee on State, Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs Foreign Operations and Related Programs Senate Committee on Appropriations Senate Committee on Appropriations Dear Chairman Coons and Ranking Member Graham: As you consider the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs Appropriations bill, we respectfully request that you provide $1.25 million for the U.S. State Department’s Office of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, an increase of $250,000 above the FY 2021 enacted level. Tragically, 76 years after the end of the Holocaust, antisemitism remains a serious and growing danger for Jews in Europe, the Middle East, the United States, and elsewhere in the world. According to a study by the Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry, violent antisemitic attacks worldwide rose 18 percent in 2019, including at least 53 synagogues and 28 community centers and schools that were targeted. To combat the rising tide of global antisemitism, the State Department’s Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism works to promote accurate Holocaust education, improve the safety and security of at-risk Jewish communities, ensure foreign public officials condemn antisemitic discourse, and strengthen foreign judicial systems in their prosecution of antisemitic incidents. The Special Envoy is responsible for developing and implementing policies and projects to combat global antisemitism by working closely with foreign governments, intergovernmental organizations, and civil society. Additionally, the Special Envoy coordinates and assists in developing the reports on antisemitism within the State Department’s annual Human Rights Reports and International Religious Freedom Report.

WASHINGTON, DC 20510 May 5, 2021 The Honorable Jack Reed The Honorable Jon Tester Chairman Chairman Senate Armed Services Committee Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee 228 Russell Senate Office Building S-128, The Capitol Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable James Inhofe The Honorable Richard Shelby Ranking Member Ranking Member Senate Armed Services Committee Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee 228 Russell Senate Office Building S-128, The Capitol Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairmen and Ranking Members: As you consider the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 defense authorization and appropriations bills, we strongly urge your continued support for the F-35 Lightning II program. We would urge the committee to support investments in relevance (modernization), readiness (sustainment) and rate (any service unfunded requirement). Today, the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force, together with our allies, are flying more than 620+ aircraft operating from 27 locations around the world. The F-35 strengthens national security, enhances global partnerships, and powers economic growth. The program leverages economies of scale, both in production and sustainment, to drive down cost and increase efficiencies while improving interoperability with our partners around the world. As you know, near-peer adversaries like China and Russia continue to advance their air defense systems, develop their own 5th generation fighters, and invest heavily in emerging technologies that threaten America’s military edge. It is with this in mind that we urge the committee to ensure that a robust modernization plan is supported to continue to insert advanced technologies and capabilities into the F-35. This may require additional funds to restore previous funding reductions, address performance challenges tied to TR-3, and support critical capabilities tied to Block 4 modernization to keep the F-35 ahead of our adversaries.
