The Interior Department doesn't run any cemeteries?

So what we have tried to do, in the meantime, Veterans opened a clinic. It has been so successful it is cracking at its seams.

It had nothing to do with anything functional for a cemetery. It was just federal land in the middle of nowhere.

People want to be there. There are a lot of people that are holding ashes in their home waiting for this cemetery to be built.

When the service pulls out, it is the responsibility of the local government to create a reuse plan, not the Navy to tell the locals how to use it.

I would really encourage you, Mr. Secretary and staff, to look at this 75-mile policy. It has been in concrete for so long, and it is a dumb, dumb policy.

There ought to be some way of giving some financial aid for that housing cost.

It is really more--it is only 70 miles as the crow flies, not as one drives.

I would love to try to change all the law, but it is probably going to be easier to get this thing built this way.

In this master plan, do you have to adjust anything for force protection requirements?

Has the Army finalized its cleanup protocols with BLM on how the BLM land is to be cleaned?

CCMR can be very helpful to the work of HDAC but CCMR needs to get reimbursed.
