And that was on a report that was given the by Army Corps of Engineers in regards to the placement and environmental impact study that was given for the placement of the NGA.

I was a radar repairman, okay. I worked up until the very last day that I separated.

But I want to make sure, and I know we have touched on it a little bit, but there were two things that were mentioned.

I introduced bipartisan legislation in Congress, H.R. 2460, which would ensure that 70% or more service connected disabled veterans are able to receive Adult Day Health Care at no cost to the veteran and their family.

Military caregivers are silent heroes in our communities and deserve the respect and benefits proportionate to their significant contributions.

The lack of stability and permanent leadership is no doubt one of the reasons the Department of Veterans Affairs has been struggling to provide appropriate health care to those it serves.

I have reached out to my local congressional colleagues and sent letters to the department regarding the lack of leadership at the St. Louis VAMC.

Winning any battle requires steadfast and capable leadership. No organization can operate under a revolving door of interim leaders.

No organization can operate under a revolving door of interim leadership, and certainly not one that is given the task of caring for our American heroes.

Before they pick up that first prescription, the veteran deserves to have all of their options laid out.

We must be very, very careful in consideration of how to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs and ensure access to quality health care our veterans deserve.

Both Title I programs are critically important and crop insurance is critically important, and they serve the same purpose to keep the farmer on the farm

We have some cotton guys out there that are hurting, and you know that.

I appreciate the hard work you have put in all these years, the sacrifices you and your wife have made to serve agriculture and rural America the way you have done.

An 80 percent solution on time is better than a 100 percent solution 10 minutes after it works.

If this doesn't happen quickly; and the other recommendations that you have aren't going to get us there.

What the statutory construction goes to is what Congress thought.

Mr. Secretary, all I ask you to do is to open your mind and go back and relook.

Crop insurance is actually going to go up because of this. Is there anything that they can be done to get relief from a potential increase for that insurance

Will the same assistance that was provided in 2015 disaster declaration be available to producers in the affected areas of my district

I appreciate working with you, and with that, I yield back.

Will the United States Government allow foreign countries to steal our cotton production just as they stole our textile mills, or will we stand up and say, 'No, not this time.'

It is an accurate appraisal to say that a whole lot of farmers and ranchers from across the country are living on loans.
