I have been working with this issue for years; and to think that you could actually turn one around in 3 days is pretty incredible.

I am not going to support policies that hurt veterans.

I want to talk about the budget for just a minute, if I may; specifically, I want to talk about the individual unemployability (IU) cuts.

We should not be doing things that are going to be hurting veterans that cannot afford to lose these benefits.

We had a previous Secretary who said that he could get the claims down to zero by--I think it was 2015.

I think is important, is to make certain that every single American has access to the coverage that they need.

if the AHCA in its current form, what came out of the House, were to pass, then it would put a $250-million annual hole in Nevada's budget.

One of the reasons I think that we need the extension is the ability to conduct these tests beyond the line of sight.

I just want to make sure that Nevada stays in the forefront of this particular issue when it comes to commercial use.

I think our state is a perfect place for commercial testing, and I think it's proven so.

I want to talk to you about one more issue, and that is mortgage debt relief.

With the blueprint in discussions that we have had, everything is on the table, including the removal of those deductions.

I am an all-of-the-above energy guy--and these alternative energies like solar, geothermal, and wind have huge potential in the State of Nevada as far as job creation.

the House Republican tax reform blueprint includes a 20-percent BAT tax.

So, tell me, what it is going to take to change problems like this in the system?

I want to commend you for the commitment of getting to view all these bills and, frankly, for doing it on a bipartisan basis.

It is so important that we get the VA the tools that they need to get rid of bad employees, and anyone who has wronged a veteran should not get to stay on administrative leave for months on end.

The choice out in Ely, and other rural small towns in Nevada, is you either have to drive to Reno, which is 300 miles one way, or you have to drive to Salt Lake, which is 300 miles the other way.

What would be a timeframe that you could get back to me on this?
