What are we doing to help reach preschool kids and the weekend kids?

I'm Roger Marshall. I represent the big First District of Kansas. We're certainly famous for our wheat, but actually are the largest producing district of sorghum in the country.

I want to acknowledge Zippy Duvall out here in the audience.

We literally have mountains of grain and nowhere to go with them.

While Dr. Humiston stated that only two percent of the California income is agriculture, in my district agriculture represents 60 percent of our economy.

part of my job is to encourage the encouragers, to encourage your people who are out there doing these jobs, and just to tell them that they are doing a great job.

It's so great to serve with a person who talks the talk and walks the walk.

The kids can't finish even 1 year before they get grabbed and they are making $50,000-$60,000 a year.

My question is on the black market. When people are hacking medical records, what makes it ten times more valuable than a credit card or other things they hack into?

One of my bigger concerns would be Medicare fraud, Medicaid fraud, people pretending like they're a physician.

I thank the gentleman for Georgia for yielding. I am so proud to be here today. Before I talk about my district, I just want to say thanks to my fellow freshman class. I am so grateful to be part of the freshman class of the 115th…
