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

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?

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

It has made us less dependent on foreign oil.

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

Give our entrepreneurs the chance to succeed.

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

I urge VA to implement this system and to develop an automated inventory control system that is compatible with the unique identifiers.

Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for your continued care of our Nation's veterans and willingness to make sure we do our job of oversight.

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