I appreciate the gentleman's concern for the State of Nevada and its economy, and I invite him to come back again and spend some of his money there. I also appreciate his argument that this is the law of the land. Indeed, the Affordable…

I wish to call up amendment No. 15. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 24, line 19, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $150,000,000)''. Page 59, line 20, after…

How did the VA miss the false credentials used by the VISN 21 Director Sheila M. Cullen to attain her position?

Surely, this is not a record of success.

I think it was the chairman who pointed out earlier that the Director of VISN 21... had put false information on a resume.

I want us to do it right or else we will be having hearings five years from now talking about all the problems with non-VA care.

I represent Las Vegas. Now, there is a national lack of providers, especially in primary care, but we certainly have one in Las Vegas.

I want to encourage you to have as much open dialogue as possible because with that transparency we can meet our mutual goal of helping veterans.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill, before the short title, insert the following: Sec. ___. None of the funds made available in this Act…

For the District of Columbia and 22 States, including Nevada, with laws in place allowing the legal use of some form of marijuana for medical purposes, this commonsense amendment simply ensures that patients do not have to live in fear…

I would just conclude my remarks and urge all my colleagues to support this legislation and, again, thank the chairman for working with me to bring it to the floor. We want to send it to the Senate and urge them to pass it quickly and on…

Quick Start has been known to be called Quick Start and slow finish as a result of that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman for holding this hearing today on behalf of our nation's veterans.

The VA should be an asset, not a hindrance to that process.

I am concerned that the reason for that is that servicemembers are choosing to bypass these programs that are designed to provide an expedited system over concerns that participation actually delays the process of receiving benefits.

The one similarity that they seem to have is that they suffer from a continued poor performance in the adjudication of the claims in each of the three programs.

I mean, don't you just get that, that you were postponing looking into something that should've been looked into right away?

I want to be sure that the veterans there are getting the kind of services that they deserve and there aren't any secret waiting lists.

Extra, extra, read all about it. The Republicans have released their new agenda for the spring. Well, let's just take a look at what their legislative priorities are for the months ahead. Unemployment insurance extension? No. Equal pay for…

A bill to provide counseling and treatment for MST that occurred during inactive duty training.

Thank you for including my bill H.R. 2527, the National Guard Military Sexual Trauma Parity Act on today's agenda.

I believe that by caring for our nation's veterans suffering from the hidden wounds of PTSD while at the same time providing assistance dogs to those with physical disabilities we create a win-win for everyone, which I believe is a goal we…

This is bipartisan legislation that addresses an unacceptable gap in current law that effectively leaves certain victims of sexual assault without support and treatment that they need and deserve.

We should make it a priority to change the culture of the military and put an end to the acts of sexual trauma that exist within our military.

AUSN supports H.R. 4095, the Veterans' Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) Act of 2014.
