Homelessness is neither a rural or urban issue. It is a national issue.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

More needs to be done.

Mr. Secretary, again, I want to thank you for your work on the cotton gin cost-share program this year.

We want you to do it.

We appreciate you all very much, and really appreciate the ideas that you put forth.

I do think that is something we really need to work on, to make it clear how important that reauthorization is going to be.

It is important. You all truly have done a great job; it has been a momentous task.

The Choice program has over a million people participating in it, which I think is a good thing.

What is your sense regarding the VHA's future willingness to consider off-the-shelf solutions?

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 5:09 p.m., adjourned until Monday, September 12, 2016, at 3 p.m…

As was mentioned, you will hear a lot of problems at the VA, and this and that, but it is good to sit back and, you know, talk about some of the successes.

This is certainly something that is frustrating in the sense that this has been going on for a long time.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Senator Boozman, what you are really referring to is what is referred to as the software development life cycle.

Good. No, that is great. We hear a lot about, rightfully so, about opioids and stuff, so an integrated system theoretically probably would help with that, also, so that is good.

I would really like to see a more proactive approach and a little bit less defensive actions in those regards.

But, he does not get to decide what laws he is going to enforce.

So, his attitude is that the Attorney General trumps Congress passing a law?

But that is the essence of it, isn't it?

Recycling plastic can result in energy savings up to 87 percent and keep the plastic out of the ocean.

That really is important.

Congress' clear intent to preserve JSAs that were lawfully executed prior to the FCC's 2014 rule changes has to be respected.

So is the cap adequate?
