Rudy Yakym: “That might as well be forever for a veteran in crisis.”

I am grateful for this opportunity to chair the Task Force and for your leadership on this Committee.

Veterans' care transcends district and party lines. All of us want to ensure the best care for those that risk their lives to defend our freedoms.

Either the fiscal commission is going to be successful or our country's doomed.

I request that this committee consider a change in the Gift Rule or revise the application and guidelines of that rule to allow for limited support from volunteers for congressional offices, particularly in the district.
