I am shocked. I am stunned actually to hear the statistic that our colleague Representative Underwood has shared today.
This is a national tragedy that the people in uniform that are serving our country, 1 in 3 women are experiencing sexual assault and military violence, a 38 percent increase.
I share the concern of my colleagues, especially Representative Pingree who has been working on this for a long time.

I look forward to working with the Committee to examine the study and determine what actions Congress should take to address this situation.
I am grateful that the Government Accountability Office is executing my recommendation to investigate this issue in greater depth.
