By developing renewable sources of energy such as wind and solar power, biofuels, and geothermal heat, we can move beyond fossil fuels.

As a member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee and a 24-year veteran myself, I spend a lot of time focused on veterans issues.

VA care is the best in the world. It is the best care anywhere.

We owe those who have served our country honorably in our military a profound debt, and that is what we are here for.

They are the voice for those veterans.

I think one of the greatest honors of my life is to serve on this Committee and know the work that we are doing.

I applaud Ranking Member Buyer. His work on the dental issue is exactly right.

We never differ on the end of care for our veterans.

We can do better than that and we can centralize that and get it moving through.

I am confident that we will continue to work in a spirit of bipartisan cooperation in this Committee which has been really impressive and gratifying.

I think it might be premature to close or knock down empty buildings at the Montrose facility.
