Muscatatuck has become, across the entire country, the central place for training for incidents here in the entire United States.

We appreciate the opportunity to discuss health care emergency management in Central Indiana.

To all of our first responders who are here with us, thank you, and around the State. You put your lives on the line every single day.

We must be prepared with the resources and the assistance on a local, State, and Federal level to successfully respond to a mass casualty event.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

It was a pleasure to have you stop by the office this morning.

I would like to see a market that for end users, as you indicated, airlines, transportation, shipping, ag, if they are using a product, we want them to be able to lock in prices that they can live with, to have some certainty, to avoid…

Well, I want you to know we will work as fast as we can to get a companion bill on this side and get that put in place.

To Mr. Russak, I will sponsor the Public Power Risk Management Act.

There is a widespread belief that the markets are broken, that supply and demand have nothing to do with the price anymore, and that the game is rigged.

My pledge to you, as I know everybody is up here, is that we will beat this. We will find a cure.

It was a great honor to be part of this. Thank you, and we are going to win.

We must prioritize conversations about end-of-life care.

Are there any documents that they sign off, 'Hey, I have read this? I understand the serious nature of this.'

You feel confident every marine from here to there has been fully immersed in that culture to tell them no more?

I feel very strongly about it. Because what we ask them to do--I agree with you. What we ask them to do is very unique and very complex, and it requires a commander who sets the tone for every issue.

Do you feel that it would make--it reflects that a commander is less of a commander because you don't have full responsibility for this process?

We have a commander problem, and so my question is we ask a lot of our commanders, in many cases, they are in the middle of fighting a war at the same time.

the buck stops here, too. I have an obligation to make sure they get it right

We have brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, and when this happens, it is the risk of personal violation of somebody.

How does it make you less of a commander to not have full responsibility for this?

General Amos, you put it best. You said this is a sacred trust that we have in front of us and that we have an obligation to get this right.

What type of training do you give your sailors in regards to sexual assault and how serious this is taken?

This is a sacred obligation to have one another's back, and we will not stand for that being violated.
