Along with the draft rule, we are equally opposed to the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act because it codifies the same harmful reductions in benefits for veterans with tinnitus and sleep apnea benefits.

We urge you to honor that commitment by abandoning these proposals and to further reject any legislation that would permanently cut off these benefits to veterans.

It surprises me. I understand that people are having a difficult time right now economically. That’s why I’ve worked so hard to bring $1.5 billion back to the state of Maine during the past five years.

Are you under assault? I know that the People's Republic of China realizes the strategic value of Guam. Are you experiencing cyber-attacks and sabotage, those kinds of things already?
