Although progress has been made, it is my understanding that it is now the eighth consecutive year that USDA has not complied with the improper payment requirements that are set forth by the act.

I would ask that the committee fund the FSRM budget for the Army at the highest levels possible.

I urge the committee to see what effect this is having on the force.

These decisions have a cost that is jeopardizing the safety of our men and women in uniform.

Thank you. What will you be doing to ensure that combatant commanders will continue to have the access to their need for Space-based information and avoid creating levels of control and bureaucracy in the Space Force which would actually…

Today, a duly elected President is being impeached by the House of Representatives, by the Democrats compelled by partisanship and not by the facts. I am proud to stand here with President Donald Trump, and I plan to cast my vote against…

This bill provides funding increases for the agencies that ensure compliance with our trade laws, along with programs that foster American innovation and competitiveness, not only in our communities and in each of our States but around the…

We have to tell our story. No one else will.

I have to sell the American people this is the money that we, the American taxpayers' dollars.

I would really hate to see those completely eliminated because, when we go back home as Members of Congress and we explain that we are trying to help people--and I think most Americans around the world want to try to be helpful, to feed…

I believe that any type of proposals to reform or eliminate programs that have U.S. commodities and cargo preferences be eliminated are ill-advised.

Regardless of party labels, the House of Representatives will miss your leadership, your professionalism, and your kindness.

Enough with these budget requests with Draconian cuts to science and STEM education.

Are you looking into any public-private partnerships and how you can leverage STEM funding initiatives from that respect?

Are there any activities that CRS staff are advised not to participate in, because they exceed the role of a neutral facilitator?

According to a New York Times article, the Antifa movement believes that violence is a justifiable form of protest.

And as far as training CRS' staff to maintain neutrality...

You have attempted to engage?

I understand that CRS plays a role in the Department of Justice's ongoing effort to strengthen relationships between the local communities and law enforcement officials.

And then, lastly, when CRS deploys to a particular community that is in conflict or that is perceived to be in conflict, do its specialists seek out and work directly with the stakeholders?

And do you know the percentage of your budget that is spent annually on costs associated with travel and deployments?

Now, what is really the role of a regional office as opposed to a field office?

How do you allocate--determine allocation of resources among these regional offices?

Couldn't a centralized CRS staff serve a vast majority of these States and the communities just as well.
