Dean Heller

The importance of accountability, transparency, and collaboration.

Senator Dean Heller (NV) (for himself and Ms. Murray) has introduced S. 471 the Women Veterans Access to Quality Care Act.

So, instead of asking them if they are a veteran, ask them if they have served in the military.

I think there are a couple of themes in today's hearing, and one of them being, in fact, that a lot of combat veterans do not consider themselves to be veterans.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, thanks to the witnesses for being here today.

To date, our committee has not come across any issues with regard to mental health care for women veterans.

The Women Veterans Access to Quality Care Act introduced by U.S. Senator Heller (R-NV) and U.S. Senator Murray (D-WA) may go a large way toward accomplishing this goal.

DAV is pleased to support S. 471, the Women Veterans Access to Quality Care Act introduced by Senators Heller and Murray.

Would you anticipate in the next 10 years that there would be a women's clinic in every hospital across the country?

Last year, the Las Vegas VA Hospital served a total of 4,500-plus women veterans.

In the past 10 years--I think you alluded to this, Dr. Hayes--the number of women veterans using the VA clinic or health care system has increased by 80 percent.

The problem was is that they failed to recognize or realize how much use that facility would have.

I want to comment, if I may, just a little bit on what Senator Corker said earlier, and emphasize that he has worked very hard on trying to get some comprehensive reform in the housing industry and it is something that I supported.

I will support that designation if that keeps nuclear waste out of the State of Nevada.

Senator McConnell and I have introduced legislation similar to what the House did.

I think that the key to all this happening and happening right is one thing that you said, Chris, and that is to ensure that every American, especially young families, have access to a 30-year mortgage.

I would anticipate that they would think you were pretty trusting individuals of your fellow human beings.

I know I don't have to say this, but Senator Booker is welcome anytime into Las Vegas and the state of Nevada.

There are 150,000 Nevada jobs that are attributed to the travel industry.

You can imagine every airport that comes in and sits down and talks to me, that is the biggest concern and question that they have.

I will tell you what. I will send a letter to you.

As you know, international travel plays a vital role throughout America.

I am running out of time, but just real basically, what I am hearing and what the concerns of these financial institutions are is that they do not know if there is an off ramp.

That can be frustrating. That is what I am hearing, I am hearing that kind of frustration.

We are not planning for that future in which drones will be able to fly beyond visual line of sight.
