Tim Walz

My belief was this was one of those.

I have to tell you, I taught American high school and college students. They don't know this story.

It takes 40 years of rapid economic development, not 40 weeks or 40 months.

We are grateful. We'll stay on this.

Thanks, Mr. Pittenger.

I think as we all know, there's going to be much more activity in the Pacific than there has been.

What can we do to help? What can we constructively do to help?

I could only hope that she would be as courageous in a similar situation as you have shown.

Yes, me too. Twenty years ago on June 4 I married my wife. There was no doubt I would remember that date.

Yes, I think it's very insightful. Many of us mark time from that.

The pivot does not appear to involve a commensurately greater effort on human rights issues in Asia.

Why would anyone ever change the status quo until it starts getting unpleasant?

China is always going to act in its perceived interests.

I think it's important to realize there really are limits to what not just the United States, but anybody, can do.

Why does it forget if it's not economics? Why do you get the pass?

Thank you for joining us today and your dedication to these causes and these policies that we work on in this Commission.

It has made us less dependent on foreign oil.

I want to thank you and your staff for the work you have done.

It is not opportunity of outcomes. It is opportunity to get in the business.

Give our entrepreneurs the chance to succeed.

I would be remiss if I wouldn't, as the co-chair with Chairman Miller of the--co-chair of the USO Caucus to thank you for your dedication when you were over at USO.

I think it builds trust is that, you know, we are not calling over to trap somebody into saying something, just running something by them: What do you think about this bill on speeding the backlog, do you really think it would help?

How is that happening, how does it happen, and do you believe that it is happening outside the VA also?

I represent the district that has the Mayo Clinic, how would an organization like that do this as opposed to the VA?

But I would also like to thank Ranking Member Kirkpatrick for her work on this and for the opportunity to allow me to be here today.
