What specifically are you doing to prevent these groups from obtaining United States weapons and equipment?

I continue to see photographs in the open source media of Iranian controlled Iraqi Shiite militias with United States weapons and equipment.

The Protect Student Borrowers Act would hold colleges and universities accountable for student loan defaults by requiring them to repay a percentage of defaulted loans.

our institution's performance, measured by student withdrawal and default rates, is one of the best of any examined, and it appears that students are faring well at this degree-based college.

this was not just one isolated case in one hospital, but it was in many different locations across the United States that this happened.

I introduced the Protect Student Borrowers Act with Senators Durbin, Warren and Murphy--and I want to thank Senator Warren for her great leadership on this issue and many other issues.

it is hard for the VA to say, we help veterans, when there have been a lot of instances where veterans have been let down.

I wish we would have had the Corps members and the EPA representatives here.

The regulation of these areas means that any activity, including everyday farming activities, could be a violation of the Clean Water Act.

The proposed rule has only expanded confusion and uncertainty as to how far the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act reaches.

The EPA's proposed expanded definition of waters of the United States... will add unnecessary bureaucratic red tape for our producers in the agriculture and small business communities.

If the EPA still fails to listen to the many voices raising concerns... then we should all come together and oppose this rule.

It is incredibly important that before this rule is finalized, we stop it from having any negative consequences on our producers and businesses.

Expanding EPA's regulatory authority under the Clean Water Act to include these and similar areas will have many negative consequences for my farm business.

I sent a letter to the EPA Administrator and asked her to come to Iowa.

Tens of thousands of dollars to obtain permits along with fees for both lawyers and technical consultants is beyond the means of most farmers and ranchers.

I have yet to hear back from the EPA, which I thought was--at least they could have responded to me.

If this agency can regulate every body of water on my farm, including those that are dry most of the time, then there are effectively no limits to the agency's regulatory reach.
