Jackie Walorski

We're here to ensure people get a job, support their family, and ultimately become financially independent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Baron, please begin your testimony when you are ready.

Chairwoman Walorski, Ranking Member McGovern, and other Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for inviting me to participate in today's hearing.

I thank the gentlewoman from North Carolina and also my colleague from Indiana. Madam Speaker, I rise to express my deepest concern that the President of the United States is signing an agreement with a leading state sponsor of terrorism…

How do I break the cycle of poverty?

I want to see a nation where no child goes hungry.

I just came from an Armed Services Committee meeting where the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs both agreed that under no circumstances should this House consider this resolution at this time, which is conceivably…

May I inquire how much time I have remaining? The CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Indiana has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I would like to thank Congressman Goodlatte and Chairman Conaway for their continued leadership in support of my amendment. My amendment today would encourage the CFTC to keep both U.S. producers and users of aluminum firmly in mind as…

I have an amendment made in order by the rule. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 24, line 2, strike ``and''. Page 24, line 4, strike the period and insert ``; and''. Page 24…

It just--don't you see an inequity in that, when you are trying to keep service providers even available?

I am aiming this in the direction of Mr. Murray and Mr. Doyle, I am not sure which.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Indiana will be postponed. Amendment No. 16 Offered by Mr. Smith of Washington The Acting…

This important bill would expand veterans' access to certain healthcare services and allow former servicemembers to receive those services from local providers.

This commonsense bill gives the VA the legislative authority, the fix it needs to follow through the original proposed rule.

Now is the time to stop making temporary fixes. This legislation permanently fixes this loophole for veterans.

Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on this important matter.

This important bill will allow the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to enter into provider agreements for extended care services.

We must step up to provide these heroes who have protected us with the resources they need including a place where they can be safe and protected.

Providing benefits to veterans driven to homelessness by domestic violence is something we all should support--and have supported in the past.

Providing veterans with the care they need and deserve continues to be a top priority of mine and most of us on this committee.

I think it is an outrage as a Government to use children as political pawns and tools.
