You can not provide transparency if we do not have any documentation or record to look into.

the attitude of the VA toward documenting ethical matters seems to be extremely hands off.

Just following the law is not going to cut it. There are a lot of laws that are not right.

I really do not care what the law says. It is wrong.

To continue a process with which our veterans lose their Second Amendment rights... is absolutely 100 percent wrong.

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The ACTING Chair. The gentleman from Montana has 1\1/4\ minutes remaining.

Let me reiterate these numbers again. These individuals are eight times more likely to attempt suicide--eight times more likely to attempt suicide--and nine times more likely to have negative mental health episodes than other…

Today I rise in support of my amendment No. 10. Amendment No. 10 is a very simple amendment. It would prohibit TRICARE from covering sex reassignment surgeries and hormone treatment for transgender individuals. The most recent numbers tell…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: In subtitle A of title VII, add at the end the following: SEC. 714. PROHIBITION ON COVERAGE OF CERTAIN SEX…

Mr. Michl, if you get the authorization in September to proceed with version six rollout, are you saying that it is going to take you until next summer to roll it out?

Thank you all for your patience. Obviously, we all have a lot of things going on.

I do not understand why we are talking about next year before this can be rolled out. Somebody please enlighten me.

If you are not willing or able to answer them, then you are incompetent.

If the next release happens next summer, next rollout, that represents a 1-year delay in what we have been doing here.

The G.I. Bill is one of the most successful government programs in history.

That, again, is unacceptable. Cannot even get an answer when you are going to do the next release.

If you have the information available to you, are you telling me it is going to take you a year to negotiate a contract and be able to authorize Mr. Michl to do this work?

You are trying to run things from Washington, DC. and you are just not listening.

It is hard to believe just how antiquated and complicated the information technology systems are that the VA staff use to process G.I. Bill applications.

Time and time again, student veterans are being left in limbo because of the VA's failures, and that is completely unacceptable.

Well, we will spend the next several years getting rid of the bad apples, and that is going to create a big backlog.

To try and turn back the clocks of time, and not give us the tools that are available to make sure that the veterans get the benefits that they deserve, and the healthcare, the highest quality healthcare that they have earned, is…

In your experience, have you seen that if you have got a bad employee that it does not just impact the productivity of that individual, that it actually impacts the productivity of the individuals that are working with or around that…

Do you believe that passage of 4278 will help us rebuild that team environment, that you are talking about and help rebuild that trust?

Today I rise to honor a great Montanan whose service to this country will never be forgotten and whose passing will be mourned by many across the Treasure State. Frank Koncilya was born in Roundup, Montana, where he graduated high school…
