Charity helps to support the government programs is an important concept and it is an important partnership.

The support from Congress to see that happen is probably essential.

What more can we be doing to share information?

Could you be specific about that?

What could we have done better to maybe not approve that Ms. Malik came to the United States in the first place?

I want specificity. Exactly, what are you doing to close those holes, to assure that those gaps get narrowed?

Let's get the data from this group to show who has access and who doesn't; get it separated by those minority and disadvantaged farmers, as well as the young and small farmers.

It is clear that we are still having those issues.

I appreciate your holding this hearing. And thanks to the panelists.

Your mission does not include doing outreach or requiring that outreach is an effective component for access to capital by disadvantaged or minority farmers.

I am beginning to feel or be a little concerned that maybe that importation is a bit premature.

I have to say I really applaud that we have a robust surveillance, education, and monitoring system here.

I applaud your efforts. And I would, with the chair's discretion, just encourage you balance accountability with incentivizing and creating a clear operating system.

The dairy industry, which you probably already know, New Mexico, is a huge economic driver

The notion that we would continue to discriminate against those populations by not providing adequate Federal funding and access makes no sense if what we're trying to do is to maintain my choice about my high-quality confidential provider.

I have personal experience and know many of my constituents in their 20s and 30s and 40s who without the comprehensive healthcare services would have died from cervical cancer.

I can tell you something you already know, that without Planned Parenthood we could not meet those access points.

And if this committee is going to undertake how Medicaid money is used and not used by every healthcare provider in every State and every local government in the United States, it might be a very interesting hearing about how we can assure…

The fox should be guarding the hen house here. They created the situation.

If we do not push for that issue, that there may not be those kinds of investments.

I want everybody made whole. And I am not feeling as confident about that, particularly.

I personally appreciate EPA's attitude about taking full responsibility.

I inherited an agency in the 1990s that couldn't account for a million dollars, which at the time was ten percent of our total budget.

I share the sentiments of my colleagues. It is nice to have you, Mr. Secretary.

These are the kinds of initiatives that in a state like New Mexico are not only incredibly meaningful if they are implemented correctly.
