I would like to see a breakdown about how much, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, other urban areas, what they are really going to be looking at doing

I share the Chair's optimistic view that we will not go back there again.

I think we not only have a potential of seeing what our forestry service is experiencing, our State forestry services are experiencing with cuts but eventually there is going to be a huge labor shortage

How is that happening, how does it happen, and do you believe that it is happening outside the VA also?

I represent the district that has the Mayo Clinic, how would an organization like that do this as opposed to the VA?

But I would also like to thank Ranking Member Kirkpatrick for her work on this and for the opportunity to allow me to be here today.

I do not doubt your sincerity for a second, I truly do not.

I think we can all agree, letting natural gas just be burned off is something that future generations, will look back and say what were you folks thinking when energy is going to become scarcer as generations go on.

if we do not have a formalized process, if we do not have something that is written on paper that is implemented, there is very little security.

a comprehensive and scientifically proven mitigation and monitoring plan must be developed to provide oversight for Arctic industry activities that could impact our food security, way of life, and health of our peoples

Thank you, Mr. Wilton. Just two quick ones here for you.

Will our veterans be safer if they follow your recommendations?

I urge VA to implement this system and to develop an automated inventory control system that is compatible with the unique identifiers.

Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for your continued care of our Nation's veterans and willingness to make sure we do our job of oversight.

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Baldwin). Without objection, it is so ordered. DEA'S Final Rule

Wouldn't you want to----

So do you think if you had something better in place, there was potential for trying to prevent these tragedies in the future?

Thank you for holding this hearing.
