Thank you, Ms. Lee, and thank you for your leadership on that veterans education caucus, I look forward to working with you on that, as well.

Thank you for your leadership.

I was actually speaking to our counsel during the questioning and commit to you that we are going to followup and understand the dynamics there.

For far too long; Congress and the Department of Veterans Affairs have overlooked the unique barriers that women veterans face after leaving military service.

It is our job as policymakers to protect both the physicians and the veterans before we go off and encourage them to prescribe or recommend any illegal substance as a treatment for any of the myriad of conditions that have been indicated…

One way I personally support this is by looking into rescheduling cannabis into a Schedule 2 substance.

The research should be designed and directed by scientists and not policymakers.

It is a genocide and we have an obligation to act both as policymakers and as human beings.

I think we can all agree that we need more research, serious scientific research into this topic.

When is the VA going to listen to the 92 percent of veterans across all political stripes and ideologies that want to see this done?

I encourage everybody to download the Cal ISO app. It is called 'ISO Today.'

I cofounded a clean energy nonprofit called CleanTech Orange County.

This bill prioritizes the removal of spent nuclear fuel from decommissioned nuclear power plants in areas with large populations and high seismic hazard.

I doubt any piece of legislation alone will solve our waste challenges, but I do believe that we need to be considering all options for disposal in an effort to find the safest and, indeed, most cost-effective way to move forward.

I just pray that we take more seriously the horrific reality on the ground in Yemen and change course immediately.

I don't know about you, but I would actually like to be alive by the time all this is done.

I can tell you that I believe the San Diego and Orange County delegation in Congress insists that you do that.

I think Harley and I are in Congress to deliver solutions.

That is why we fought so hard for the $25 million in the House appropriations package.

I think it is really important that we focus on a consent-based interim storage program.

When are you going to get the nuclear waste off our beach?
