Well, many of the Members of this Committee were on the Committee when the Phoenix scandal was all over the news, and we certainly want you to resolve the scheduling issues, use the resources and the personnel that we have efficiently, and…
I mean, this is serious and we need to take care of this. And meanwhile the budget that comes forward is cut. I don't understand how we are going to protect our constituents.

I am definitely concerned about flooding, and I am particularly concerned about the budget cuts that are coming down from the White House.
We have had loss of life from floods. We have had tremendous damage to property. We have had whole towns washed away.

I have been very involved with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in a task force to combat the heroin epidemic.
this is by far the most informative and effective hearing I have been in in my four and a half years on this Committee.
I just feel optimism from this hearing, which is a rare feeling in this panel.
