Elizabeth Esty: “The United States has a leadership role in basic science, and we have to follow that where it takes us.”

Let me be clear. When the report on military sexual trauma came to my attention in August, I was disappointed and disturbed.

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.

I am happy to welcome everyone here today as we enter the home stretch on the implementation of the Appeals Modernization Act.

Again, I think we need clarity on this.
