I was so impressed by this White River Junction facility with a separate facility for women.

Trust me, where I am talking about, the rent will be significantly less that be a million dollars.

I think it is an important topic, anything that we can do to meet the needs of the veterans.

I felt the enhanced improvements to our background checks system -- as you and I both know, the issue wasn't a background check system issue in Sandy Hook.

Are you anticipating that? And is there funding in the budget to do things like help lines?

I think sequestration is outrageous. We need to fix it. This Congress needs to act, and it's totally unacceptable that we haven't done that.

I would urge you to do whatever you can to make sure that we are aware here of those efforts.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And thank you for hosting this hearing. Thank you all for coming.

I am a new member from New Hampshire and it is--we consider it rural but absolutely not as wide as Kansas.

I would love to get a little more from you particularly on two programs--the Women's Procurement program and the Women's Business Centers.

Without interim measures our small boat fleet in New Hampshire is in danger of extinction.

That would be helpful.

I want to go now to one of the issues that I have been very concerned about and very appreciative of the lead that the DOD, and particularly all of our branches of the military have taken, around energy use.

Do you have data that quantifies what the savings are from those performance contracts that you have put in place already?

Will the impact of sequestration be enough to prevent you from getting to the 50 percent savings goal by 2020?

I would really be interested in getting that.

Thank you.

But you are assuming you have money that you could shift in the budget in order to accommodate those closures.
