Our bill, S. 1219, the Lake Bistineau Land Title Stability Act, would void the 1967 survey of lands near Lake Bistineau.

Are there any other areas in the country, any other states, in which there are similar claims that the BLM has made, but not maintained a claim to land?

Believe me, I want this to be civil because I think we all recognize and we're looking for a solution.

That is just a fact.

Gentlemen, thank you for being here.

It streamlines reporting requirements for colleges--this will be dear to Senator Alexander's heart--saving colleges time and money.

It is a better system which allows students to better know their return on investment.

College tuition is going up, programs are going up, and programs which are not sustainable.

Students are being burdened with debt for decades, and oftentimes have no information about their likelihood of paying off that debt.

as we vote this evening on the Pain- Capable Child Protection Act, I speak to the bill as a doctor who practiced in a hospital for the uninsured for decades. I mention working in a hospital for the uninsured because the uninsured are…

I think it makes the case for targeting these programs to the greatest extent possible.

Colleges could be helping out and that colleges have done a great job.

we have a bill that would increase transparency; that would ask that a student who is enrolling in a university would have a sense of how much she or he is going to earn if they complete.

There is going to be people who fall through the net no matter what, and we need to make sure they are protected.

If all colleges did this great job, would we have this panel today?

Is VistA capable of flagging this? Are the pharmacy programs incapable of seeing these drug interactions and flagging them?

The article is about how the VA fueled the national opioid crisis and is killing thousands of veterans.

The pharmacist said that it, VistA, does not flag it.

Finally, is the VA using medication-assisted therapy for those who are addicted?

We need to know whether it is more apparent than real.

I have been interested in this data, in terms of applying to the VA, and knowing facility specificity.

Correct. A rise could be from a very small baseline.

Can you perhaps submit, for the record, the percent of patients whom you think have opioid addictions?

is the VA using medication assisted treatment for addiction.

It poses a serious threat to our State, to our communities, and upon our State's and nation's economy.
