It seems like the light at the end of the tunnel is a train coming at my farmers.

What banker next spring, if these prices are still the same, is going to make a loan for seeds?

What do you tell his kids, Mr. McKinney?

How do you explain that to the farmer who is going to lose everything?

Those are our neighbors who are losing their farmers, who are losing their life's dreams.

These are the lives and the farms of my fellow Hoosiers that are at stake.

So, with that, I am ready to begin.

I have spent much of the past 2 months studying VA's EHR modernization and the Military Health System GENESIS Program.

This Committee, in my brief experience in Congress, has lived up to its reputation as the last frontier of bipartisanship in Congress, and that is largely thanks, I think, to Dr. Roe's leadership.

Thank you all for being here today for the first hearing of the Subcommittee on Technology Modernization.

I think that this project has great promise, and in addition to the care of our veterans, we need to focus on accountability.

we need a coherent strategy, policies with teeth, clear signaling, and smarter sanctions.

if our Government has a strategy to counter and deter Russia, it is not working.

Putin's audience is not the West. Putin's audience is his own constituencies inside the country.

Would legislation requiring corporate beneficial ownership transparency increase the ability to effectively apply sanctions against corrupt oligarchs and officials?

Please know--and I know that it has been mentioned before--we are on the same team, and we have your back.

Vigilance and resolve will be our lodestar.

I don't see this as particularly partisan.
