So, I guess I would urge you in your process of reevaluating your procedures that is part of it: that you make it clear that if you continually send poor records you are out, period.

I would love to see annual numbers for the last few years, a trend line of what that looks like in some of those categories.

Yes, Senator, that is exactly right.

If someone is already doing services for like Indian Health Services, are they automatically credentialed in the VA for the services provided to VA?

How much overstatement would you say? I mean is it double what you think it is; because I am going to drive to the next question which is further discussion of the accountability measures that you have in place or will have in place.

I do not know who would answer this, maybe Mr. Williams. Do you agree with the IG report in their analysis of what they have calculated in overpayments and those kinds of issues?

Let me end there. So in no case, a vendor has received double payment for any services?

Mr. Chairman, I do not have any. I will look forward to the questions because Senator Tester told me to say that.

Many medical center directors justify the increased use of costly fee basis care in recent years as the only means of providing care to veterans in a timely manner.

What is the long-term outlook that you would see in the HERO program in the sense that it is on a 5-year demonstration project; so what is next?

You must engage them in the beginning of the process, not after.

I want to do the right thing for veterans.

I'm a very visual person, so I like to see flow charts.

I guarantee you, they're separate entities, so if you go bankrupt, they may not go bankrupt.

I'm assuming, if Delta can, of course the competitor can do the same thing.

I think that's part of the equation here.

I will guarantee you, it's one reason, as a former mayor, we ensured our payment to--our police officers and firefighters were very well paid.

What I want to see is what those differences are.

I lost my father when I was 10 in a plane, a smaller plane. He was never found.

I'm confident we're doing what you're suggesting.

when you look at the fishing industry, which has about 58,000 people employed, we provide 62 percent of all the natural-caught fish in the country.

I want to make sure, as I tell folks, that the Commerce Secretary and Deputy Secretary are really going to be fishermen.

I think that this climate service needs to also work on helping the public understand climate change is happening.

the money drives the show.
