We are confronted with the same challenges we had last go-round, of course, and that is making everything work in these times of tight budge...
Should you make some of these reductions, are you going to continue to make that a priority?
I have 2 years. The last 2 years, I have worked with our former chairman, Senator Nelson, on the legislative branch.
Thank you, Madam Chairwoman. I appreciate it very much.
Well again, I am just trying to understand if there are adjustments we need to make to make sure the Office works well.
We need your help streamlining the regulatory burden.
I am concerned that, in its implementation of the program, EPA is using outdated regulatory tools to assess projected visibility improvement...
I thought it was very helpful and appreciate you taking time to do that, as well as your commitment to our veterans.
We have a tremendous obligation in the VA to find ways to deal effectively with these things.
suicide is a national tragedy, and suicide amongst veterans, I think, is even a deeper tragedy.
this absolutely has to be an area of emphasis, along with your emphasis on homelessness.
I want your commitment that we're going to get it open this year.
If we keep doing what we have always done... we will get the same result.
We must address the unique challenges faced by Native American housing.
I would love to tell you that I was enormously successful, but I failed. I failed to make those programs accessible.
We failed. You cannot look at the statistics of housing in Indian Country... and not get an acute sense of failure.
What do we do, working within existing programs, and what do we do looking at financing?
Our most acute and most desperate need for housing is in Indian Country.
