Elizabeth Esty: “I now yield 1 minute to my colleague, the distinguished gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Lipinski).”

Again, I think we need clarity on this.

I want to thank Chairman Roe and Chairman Isakson and Ranking Members Tester and Walz, in particular for their efforts on the Blue Water Navy veterans.

We should not expect our veterans to be experts in appeals law, Veterans Affairs regulations. That is not their job. It is our job to take care of them.

I want to thank the under secretary and his team for staying.
