To have over half the folks not get the proper rating, to say that it does not match up with our goals, is an understatement.

Has it simplified, was the first question?

we are not where we need to be, by a long shot

Does that mean all the folks that got rated before 2008 we should call them back up and have them re-rated?

we have got misdiagnosis over 50 percent, that is not acceptable. It has got to be fixed.

Could you get back to the Committee with your recommendations on what needs to be changed in IDES?

these folks need help, they need help early.

We have got an issue here, and the reason I know we have got an issue here is because I have got veterans calling me all the time.

I would anticipate that those changes would add to this simplifying and consolidating as your goals were when this was set up between the VA and DOD, would it not?

Should we be expanding those opportunities?

I think that is all to the good.

Yes, that is correct.

I know some have been concerned, and I appreciate your raising it...

Joining the Convention would not require the United States to implement the Kyoto Protocol or any other particular climate change laws or policies.

No. The Law of the Sea Convention is an oceans treaty, not a climate treaty.

the Assembly cannot take up an issue unless recommended by the Council.

the Arctic is one of these areas where potential instability as well as economic competition are going to be played out.

I just don't think we are all missing something, Senator.
