This is my question. EPA is using the Clean Air Act to justify these rules, all right, for regulating emissions.

I think I ought to point out that it's been very public, it's a matter of public record that President Biden himself aggressively took advantage of it to save himself as much as $500,000.

How can we justify these rules for the agricultural community abandoning this? This is going to be a big deal.

Many taxpayers accept complexity that favors them.

the fear is, does the Administration, does the EPA understand that we are the breadbasket to the world, and can we do things to be productive instead of punitive?

What are you doing to ensure agriculture's voice is heard and considered in this debate so my constituents don't lose this important tool that can be and has been used safely in agricultural applications for decades?

Would you agree that these veterans, frustrated by access to critical care, would be at elevated risk for suicide?

One of my top concerns with the crisis we are seeing at our southern border is that we know that individuals on the terror watch list, sex offenders, some of these transnational gang members, drug traffickers, human traffickers, the list…

I am extremely concerned about the number of known terrorists and criminals who have come across our southern border as a result of the weakness.

Had the VA sent us testimony in a more timely manner, let me emphasize that, had the VA sent us testimony in a more timely manner, I would have liked to have addressed the initiatives they are talking about today.

In fact, in the last Congress, we passed a bill, the Brandon Act, because a veteran in my district went to the VA Center, was denied care, and 5 hours later committed suicide.

Thank you, Chairman Mann, for holding this hearing. You look good in that chairmanship.

We expect better of the VA medical care system. Our veterans deserve better.

Never should a veteran walk out of that VA in crisis. I think clearly something has to be done here around these access points.

I am very concerned about how the VA has interpreted and differentiated between institutional and uninstitutional extended care.
