Thank you again, Chairman Tiffany, and thank you to the witnesses.

I think it is important that, as we talk about these programs that I think are pushing us into the right kind of collaboration, co-stewardship, that they also take resources, right?

As soon as Representative Neguse gets here we will get his opening statement.

I appreciate that they are with us here today. I look forward to working with my colleagues and, of course, Chairman Tiffany on finding ways to address that disparity.

Thank you, Chairman Tiffany. It is another busy week for the Federal Lands Subcommittee, and today's overview of tribal forestry is an important and welcome focus.

Are you following the law?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and a special thanks to each of the witnesses for being here today.

Something, Mr. Chair, has to be done.

Success and a 50 percent failure rate is certainly not successful.

I cannot agree with the word thriving.

I look forward to working with you and the VA and my colleagues here today on this important legislation, to ensure that we are addressing the unique needs of each and every veteran.

President @realDonaldTrump, you have my complete and total support. This is why I believe President Trump is the right man at the right time to deal with the bad guys and bring peace to the world.

When you look across, as Representative Wittman said, some cases it is bringing the work to the people.

I don't know what is happening in the country, but I know there is nothing our nation and the people of Texas cannot handle.

I am honored to represent this great city and to help celebrate the 175th birthday of Corsicana.

This isn't about people showing up for a job. Once you get into this field, it is a calling.

I want to thank you, too, Ms. Gruber.

I appreciate all the witnesses being here today. This is--this is tough work, and it is incredibly important.
