This bill would help encourage and educate veterans about the various methods that may increase the timeliness of their claims.

Information is always key and it gives us strength in making better policy.

This is brought to us by Representative McLeod of the DAMA Subcommittee.

I also want to thank you for your continued leadership on these issues facing our veterans and thank you for this hearing.

Well, we are anticipating an expansion on the Panama Canal, more goods coming in from Asia.

I would just urge that my colleagues support this important amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

The Working Families Flexibility Act, more aptly called the ``Paying Working Families Less Act,'' would have a negative impact on families in Nevada and across the country. H.R. 1406 offers the empty choice of comp time in lieu of overtime…

We want to make it easier.

I completely agree with those of you who made the statement that we do not want to see this tied to any kind of chained CPI.

We want to protect the privacy of our veterans, but we certainly need to expedite the process in helping them get compensation and remove the backlog as quickly as possible.

H.R. 671 will address some of these.

I think it is important that we thank our colleagues for the good work that they have done on these various bills and point out that they address some of the unique needs of our Nation's veterans.

It is my belief that a proper burial for our Nation's Veterans is a solemn obligation.

I think they are a positive change forward.

Sometimes when you say that something is a work in progress it is meant with fake praise and you really mean it is not happening like it should.

I would just ask the two of you if you have concerns about the impact of sequestration on what you are doing at Arlington and beyond?

That distance does not mean very much in states like Nevada and Montana and Idaho.

Nevada is one of those western states that has no national cemetery.

It is only right that those who bravely serve this country should be laid to rest next to the person they love.

Like you, Mr. Chairman, it is my belief that a proper burial for the Nation's veterans is a solemn obligation that we have.

Reno is taking 478 days on average to complete a claim.

So, do you have benchmarks in for the regional offices?

We must make education a top priority and give our children the skills and training they need to be the innovators of the future.

It is important that we remember the Federal budget is more than a theoretical document that is only debated in Washington with no impact on families throughout the United States.
