I certainly want to be sure that we don't eliminate all the issues around fresh fruits and vegetables and the farm-to-table issues that are very important throughout the country and certainly very important to our military families.
Thank you so much. I am so glad that my colleague from Arizona is here to speak to this. She is very uniquely qualified to do that as one of the first women pilots--or the first--to actually fly in combat. As I remember, the women who…
The horrific attack in San Bernardino shows us just how much damage can be done when terrorists have access to firearms; and while we discuss sensible policies that may have prevented this tragedy, I hope we can all agree--certainly, at…
If we cannot afford to take care of our veterans and their spouses and their dependents, then we cannot afford to go to war.
I think we all need to take responsibility and to do that in a number of ways.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I also want to welcome all of you here today. Thank you for joining us.
We have made progress in health care reform by instituting a pilot program on urgent care requiring the DOD to publicly post access standards.
We did address retirement reform as well as several other commission recommendations in the NDAA.

I think, Dr. Kelly, you are suggesting that having the community engaged in the activities is very, very valuable.
As we know, each year, over 100,000 service members transition out of Active military service back into civilian society.
It is difficult to find that appropriate balance between the acquisition cycle time, and risk.
The leverage that we have and whether we use it or we don't, the conditionality, I think these are things that the public responds to.
I am very pleased that the subcommittee is continuing to work to help prevent suicides in the military.
I work in a community of large numbers of military families. And guess what, the military is no different from the rest of our country. It is made safer and stronger by Homeland Security, by law enforcement, by environmental protection…
I want to associate myself with the ranking member because I think that we all work very, very hard on this committee, and I appreciate the work that our chairman has done as well. I have to say I am speaking largely as someone who has…
If it is September, it must mean another shutdown on the horizon. The same small band within the House majority is demanding another shutdown of the Federal Government. Mr. Speaker, we have seen this movie before. In the mid-1990s…
After much deliberation and soul searching, I am convinced that the P5+1 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action creates a viable path to reduce Iran's nuclear weapons capability. For that reason, I believe this agreement is in the best…
I know that you care deeply that we continue to fund this at higher rates. We absolutely cannot fall behind the global community in how we address science and innovation.
