If the pace of funding for our housing improvement slows or stalls, it would really reverse our road to recovery.

I am pleased to see the administration using the full authority of the Toxic Exposures Fund in its budget request.

I agree, it is a tragic and really important topic.

The President requested $305 million for Army family housing construction, and that's nearly $136 million increase.

I am appalled by it as much as you are, and I am going to continue to try to find ways to solve this problem.

if we are wondering why they have a recruitment and retention problem, this would be one of the most glaring examples of that reason.

And let's be clear, this is not just unwanted touching. I mean, there are too many cases that are much more serious than that.

We need a holistic look at military pay and compensation.

The issue of sexual assault in the military remains dire, and the problem only seems to be getting worse.

I think we all know this would have extremely detrimental effects on government programs that affect all Americans.

I look forward to continuing our partnership, as you mentioned.
