I actually appreciated the White House's infrastructure proposal.

I appreciate your service, I appreciate your recognition of the issues, and I look forward to working with you.

I was probably most concerned that an outside organization had to pay for the flights of the family to go see their son's body returned to Dover Air Force Base.

We want to provide you those resources, and we want to do a better job on our end.

What can be done or is actively being done to help the families have a better, more streamlined process when tragedies like this occur?

It is up to us as Congress to allow you the opportunity and the resources to fully investigate why these accidents have occurred.

I appreciate what my colleagues on this committee are doing to urge the Navy and urge our military to investigate what caused these tragic accidents.

I appreciate your regret. I appreciate your willingness to work together.

This hearing continues our series where each of the six Subcommittees is looking at all aspects of the current and the next farm bill.

Thank you Chairman Davis and Ranking Member Lujan Grisham for the opportunity to provide supplemental comments for the record of the March 9 hearing.

This is the type of success story I hope we can all gather around as we move into the next farm bill.

Food safety, food security, and the ability to produce high-quality food at a low price... is going to be significant.
