I could not agree with you more. Mr. Denham and myself authored up the Veterans Skills to Job Act that passed and was signed into law by the President.

We are spending $106 billion a year in training these folks. They are our best and brightest and let's translate that in.

I would like to also congratulate you and the ranking member and all Members on your reelection.

I am very pleased with everything the members of the Committee have accomplished this session.

As a teacher, I firmly believe that receiving a good education is one of the most important determining factors for economic success.

It is obvious that everybody here's goal is the same of working toward zero deaths and safety amongst all.

For the American public then, and I am speculating, I want to be very clear, I am speculating what is happening there but everything, my spider spin tells me there is something very bad going to come out of that.

I would argue there is an incentive other than pay. It is called ethics.

The American Legion applauds Representatives Steve Stivers and Tim Walz for their leadership and efforts to tackle and address this issue.

If one gets through or 900,000 get through without being taken care of at the proper level, there is going to be frustration.

The Ranking Member's passion for veterans is never in question.
