Dozens of landowners and homeowners can only reach their home by boat, and some of them can't reach their home at all because they can't get through the current at the level that it is moving through.

This Committee is really in agreement with you. We just want to make sure we are positioned correctly.

I thank the chairman for his support of the amendment. With this, it is our hope that things like what happened in Alexander County will not happen again; that proper oversight will be given. The effect that this has on people's lives is…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 552, line 1, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $1,000,000)''. Page 552, line 1, after the…

I appreciate the gentlewoman's support of the amendment. I also support the cosponsorship from Congressman Dan Lipinski and his support of these efforts as well. Madam Chair, with that, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division D (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

In closing, let me say that this is an issue that we have dealt with in this Nation for a very long time. This gives us the opportunity to aggressively go after those that are illegally importing and transporting those goods that are…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 3, line 8, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $3,000,000) (increased by $3,000,000)''. The…

The VA provide the Subcommittee with a detailed timeline outlining what the VA has done to date to implement this section of the law.

It was strictly a case that if something like this occurred, you just didn't report it. You just didn't, at all.

As I said, this is vitally important. We have kept our head in the sand for a very, very long time on these issues.

If you don't have specialists on those fields and getting them in the hand of the specialist, all you have done is got them in the hand of somebody to take care of it

We want to make it that the process is as easy and as less stressful, because of the trauma itself

I know that all of us are wanting to make sure whatever we implement actually allows for the opportunity of these victims to make sure that they are processed correctly.

These veterans have gone through an unimaginable ordeal and it is important for the VA to handle these sensitive cases properly.

But our first obligation is to the veteran.

We have to figure out how to respond to climate change. It is a problem right now, and we need NIFA and ERS working hard here in D.C. to make that research available to all of our farmers, not just in North Carolina or Wisconsin or Indiana.

Susan B. Anthony once said: ``There will never be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers''--and serve as lawmakers and actually serve in the chair. One hundred years ago, Congress moved one step…

But then when we asked the VA about this, I mean, obviously if you are hiring a doctor, you are going to get a doctor, but in the position of management, there are no set standards or criteria that are met, and I think that is one of the…

I worked on a law that would improve our anti-dumping and countervailing trade remedy laws.

Now, the solution might be a little different, but the outcome is the same. China unfairly undercuts the competition and then comes in and dominates the market.

I thank the gentleman for supporting the amendment. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Bost). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 14…

AFGE wants to take this opportunity to comment on the draft update of H.R. 299, the 'Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019,'

So it has been 40 years since the cleanup. So how would you estimate--after 40 years, how in the world do you get back there and figure out, okay, this person was exposed to this much, or how do you do that?

Some veterans have voiced concerns that the method DOD used to estimate the potential dosage of radiation exposure at Enewetak clean-up veterans was unreliable or outdated.
