If this body will not take action, we are going to put ag out of business.

This DNA information would be vitally important and enormously useful.

These DNA samples, again as you know, can be checked against the FBI's nationwide DNA data base, CODIS, to determine whether the arrestee or detainee has committed other crimes perhaps in other jurisdictions.

Let me tell you the reason for my concern.

I am offering a bipartisan amendment that will address the 400,000 estimated untested rape kits that currently are sitting in police lockers and elsewhere.

It has not passed through, but at some point this will move along far enough that perhaps further intervention will do harm.

It seems like those are the three major buckets.

I guess I might take one exception with that.

I am going to continue with a different question because I will be running out of time...

So here, we have homeowners who saw the Government respond vigorously and generously on helping major financial institutions, and little tweaks in the law could save a family $8,000.

I, quite frankly, was shocked by the numbers that you presented, that the monopoly strategy in HARP 2 results in the difference between--I think it was between $15,000 and $4,000 in refinancing.

I was pleased to hear the VA announce its plan to hire 1,900 mental health workers.

We need to take advantage of the wide array of professional services that are available at every opportunity.

I am discouraged by how long it took for the VA to implement.

General, thank you, for your service to our country and to the veterans. And thank you all for your interest and well being of our Nation's service men and women.

I encourage you to hire those people and put them to work as rapidly as possible.

I would disagree slightly with my friend, Congressman Rohrabacher. I think it does have to do with what the international community has done.

I believe what we have laid out is a very careful, calibrated, step by step approach that rewards action for action.
