Duncan Hunter: “I want to express my disappointment that the DoD decided not to participate in today's hearing.”

If there is no further questions, I thank all the witnesses for their testimony and the Members for their participation.

Do you think that gives you more tools in your toolbox?

I was hoping the DoD would provide insight as to whether the servicemembers may not understand the TSGLI requirements.

But don't spend $18 billion that way. Spend it where it has the most effect, which is the U.S. Coast Guard.
