Communities in my district and across the country rely on our nation's 2.2 million farms.

Today, our subcommittee will examine the difficulties affecting America's new and beginning farmers.

I am impressed by the entrepreneurial spirit of the 2,741 new and beginning farmers in my District, but we need to see that number grow.

The administration's family separation policy has stained our Nation and will have lasting effects on those who are subjected to it.

But our future as an agricultural districts jeopardized by the fact that of the over 14,000 producers in my district, not even 2,100 of them are under the age of 35.

Okay, all right. So at go-live, how is the VA going to address these capabilities in Cerner that are not going to meet clinical needs such as prosthetics and where there is no alternative product?

So just thinking about the costs. So you have these other capabilities, you have plans to modernize or replace those capabilities, where is that cost coming from?

You have children that you cannot identify any relative that was taken away under this administration.

more than half of VA's reported $2.3 billion costs couldn't be verified based on the source data

I just have concern and I hope that we can continue to have some transparency as we roll out.

I want a full report. I want a meeting, and I want you to hear the truth because your employees were atrocious, and I am saying it on the record.

the cost for this particular line item was about $238 million per year. Shortly thereafter, they told us that the cost was actually $950 million

You are backlogged, and you have children there that are longer there than 100 days.

I have eternal optimism, and I believe that we will find a resolution to getting it right.

Okay. Thank you.

I have been on the committee since 9/11, and I have engaged with CBP, Border Patrol, for all of those years.

But it is not included in your $5 billion-- to maintain VistA. So this is we have another cost on top of that to take care of this 40 percent?

Do you have an agreement; do you have any licensing agreements with those groups and is there like a stop date at 10 years?
