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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Can you tell me why it is so difficult, if there are difficulties, as to why only 1 percent of the veterans in Nevada would choose a Choice card or the program?

I think we have accomplished a lot in this hearing today, and your efforts during the recess to help with this flexibility issue for care at non-VA facilities, I think, will go a long way.

But we have seen in the State of Nevada, actually, a doubling in the Medicaid population. Here is the problem: we may have doubled our Medicaid population, but we do not have a corresponding increase in the number of Medicaid providers.
