I would just suggest we try to go up another level and, for the entire Veterans Administration, all across the country, try to use the same equipment, get the same data, because you could negotiate an even larger discount.

However, I believe this is indicative of a larger problem.

While 'The Case of the $11,257 Package' is a catchy title, it is actually one example of inaccurate data reporting by the VA.

These issues place VA's mail program at risk and cause me to question whether the physical security and accurate tracking of packages... are at higher risk of diversion.

We should be able to correct this.

I really do enjoy working so closely with General Bergman to address many of the issues that our veterans face.

A lot of veterans... are choosing to live a rural life.

Infrastructure is a very real barrier for expansion of telehealth initiatives in rural areas.

Treating veterans via telehealth has the potential to help veterans get the care they need in rural areas.

We really should have that service everywhere.

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 414. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the resolution. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes…

I am concerned about what is going to happen to rural broadband deployment if the high-cost budget doesn't change.

My question is what can we do in a bipartisan way? And in particular, do we need to change how the USF collects fees?

Well, I just want to give a shout-out to a wonderful project in my district, the Town of Peterborough, New Hampshire...

I just hope we can get the word out that Congress can work together and get something done.

I applaud my colleagues for passage of my three amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act last night. Two of my amendments would address our Nation's opioid crisis as it impacts or Nation's servicemembers and veterans. They…

Thank you, Chairman Bost.

I honestly believe Congress needs reevaluate this legislation and change the positive proof wording to benefit of the doubt since there are so many exposure variables that will never be known.

It is imperative that the VA implement the GAO's recommendations now so that Gulf War veterans receive the treatment and disability benefits that they deserve without having to fight the VA every step of the way.

Ranking Member Kuster, you made this assertion in your opening remarks during the March, 2016 hearing regarding Gulf War Illness.

I believe that Congress needs to reevaluate the statue; I don't think it was congressional intent for a process in which most Gulf War Illness-related disabled veterans are denied service connection for their illnesses.

I would just sing the praises of a program in my district in Nashua, New Hampshire, Harbor Homes, that has been a game changer for our veterans.

We have recently achieved a functional zero for homelessness for our veteran population due in large part because of the transitional housing that is available.

We have an opioid crisis in New Hampshire. And one of the issues is transitional housing after treatment to continue the intensive outpatient treatment but to have a place to live.

This is the final amendment to the bill, which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage as amended. Like so many communities and States across this country, New…
