I introduced H.R. 3228, the VA Mission Telehealth Clarification Act, to remedy this issue.

We need you to work to get to a yes, not work to get to a no.

This should not be complicated. It should not be complicated.

I have been right mad. In fact, it has almost led a Southern Baptist to cuss.

This is a critical New Start included, authorized by Congress.

Wrightsville Beach needs to be included in the Director's Report for WRDA 2020.

We need to have the Carolina Beach project included in the Chief's Report for WRDA 2020.

We need to figure out how to get to yes, not how to get to no.

We have to get that done. I particularly want to thank both of you, particularly you, Gregg, for your great work in negotiating on this deal.
