So you have recommended, along with Ms. Hoehne, this phased-in approach.

So what is a recertification? I'm ignorant. What are we talking about? Is it making sure that their child is still with them or----

I do thank you because I know the heart that it represents.

So your testimony here today is, if those families get you the needed information, you can make a determination within 10 days. Is that your testimony?

I don't want--because originally we said we were going to have transfer done by January.

I want to thank all of you for your time, for your dedication to our military families.

I don't want us to do is to talk in generalities and negate all the positive stuff that we've been able to make.

Your goal was 10 days. Now, your testimony earlier said that you did them in 10 days.

I certainly recognize that progress and commend it and hope it will continue.

Because, you know, this particular situation was news to the ranking member and I.

So your testimony here today is we've got a 1,600-person backlog and that can be eliminated in 10 days?

I thank you for your commitment to the families.
