How can this help reduce animal-vehicle collisions?

By holding the VA accountable for reimbursements and setting strict time standards, our bill fixes this.

And this is related to drunk driving, too.

Yes. How about semi-autonomous?

It was clear that the redundant and bureaucratic layers of programs previously provided to our veterans was failing them.

I appreciate that. That's helpful.

I think, importantly--and reference was made to it earlier--these autonomous vehicles use an array of sensors, not just cameras.

Issues with the Choice Act are the top concerns I hear from veterans in my home state of Montana.

This is such an important issue for me personally, certainly housing, difference between a house and a home, right, such an important part of America, the American dream and so forth.

So my question, I guess, is why wasn't there more consultation with industry before the guidance was issued?

How do we lower the risk of these technologies in rural settings?

The fact is, is repeatedly misallocated resources, that are meant to really help low-income households

Many consumers no longer have confidence in the government.

I know industry has been working collaboratively to address cyber and published some best practices in July.

I think it's important that we all hold ourselves accountable with something that's quantitative.

Well, let me say this. I spent 28 years in business. I understand aspirational targets, and certainly, we should aspiring to zero.

I believe Congress must ensure that HUD is a good steward of taxpayer funding, and I'm sure you'd agree with that.

I think government needs to.

But there's an old saying, at least coming from business, if you aim at nothing, you'll hit it.

I think that's one of the political concerns we hear.

This has got to be one of those trends that we want to try to get out in front of as best we can

I'd like to see some clear goals set, that we want to take admin costs as a percentage--if they're at 12 percent today, how do we get to 11 percent, 10 percent, and 9 percent over the course of the next 3 or 4 years?

I have introduced the Tribal Employment and Jobs Protection Act which will exempt tribes and tribal employers from the Obamacare employer mandate.

This disproportionate spending on admin costs doesn't translate into better care in Indian Country.

Let's go back to 2008, or let's say a 5-year timeline, are we getting better or not.
