the ABA has been opposed to mandatory minimums for 40 years

I think our veterans deserve better, I think they expect better, and we got a lot of questions that have been asked and answered here today.

So prudent leadership would be poised and ready to act if the investigation proved out, right, that you would then immediately begin to notify those veterans whose information had been compromised?

I am extremely concerned. And I can tell you that as the Chairman of the Oversight Investigation Subcommittee I am not going to let loose of this one.

Eighteen veterans, how long does that take? I can make 18 phone calls in 30 minutes.

I can assure you, sir, I am not [pleased with the direction that the Miami facility is going].

I hope to hear from our witnesses about what we can do better to give students from all backgrounds access to a high-quality education.

I share his great concern about what is happening in America with STEM education and echo many of his concerns about what China is doing right now in threatening the United States and our economy.

In a global economy where nearly everything we do is based on math, science, and technology, these numbers are frightening.

I think the Common Core State Standards are going to help us ground our work in schools by saying that we are all focusing on the same thing.

Have you alerted any veterans that their information may have been compromised? And if so, how have you done that?

Are you astutely hearing the responses to the questions that this Committee is asking?

I can assure you I know what accountability would mean in that case.

What happens when the process fails and veterans die? How do you hold leadership accountable?

Can you clarify and explain this discrepancy and how that fits into your we are going to hold leadership accountable?
