Marcy Kaptur

We applaud Congresswoman Kaptur for her lifelong commitment to supporting veterans, including homeless veterans, and for her leadership in introducing this legislation.

A bill to include contracts & grants for residential care for veterans in the exception to the requirement that the government recover a portion of the value of certain projects.

As Americans, we can never repay our debt to Veterans like Roger, but Congress can pass common-sense measures like H.R. 3508 to help make their lives back home a little easier.

And so the question is can we work with certain instrumentalities that exist privately and maybe even publicly to restore sites as opposed to just open lake dump.

I would urge you to consider because of the nature of Lake Erie being the shallowest of the lakes with all of the challenges that it has with algal blooms...

We need an aggressive approach to this and we have to figure out what that is.

I have been in Congress a long time, I have not had one good briefing and I have not read one report that really gives me any confidence we know what we're doing in terms of the movement of these live creatures.

The fine work of Congresswoman Candice Miller of Michigan in the WRDA Bill to look at the Great Lakes as a system is something that many of us, I mean we share.

If you want to create jobs in America, fully fund the Corps.

Our job is mobilization, right? We do it in our own elections.

On every given day, I have a minimum of 6 percent of my inmates who are veterans.

We are having a separate fight over in the Veterans Committee of the House to work with our State veterans homes...

I am really perplexed and not understanding the plan of the U.S. military for a comprehensive approach.

I am very, very concerned about what I see happening in Ohio.

The absence of significant mention by each of you in your testimony is troubling to me.

I have a deep interest in psychological behavioral health and human performance.

Meanwhile there are those who suggest, well, the way--you know, you cut it out of seniors or you cut it out of hungry children, and some of us choose not to make those choices.

When we were out at Berkeley Livermore, Congresswoman Barbara Lee of Oakland joined us for some of those meetings.

We still aren't, in my opinion, close to the finish line. We haven't--we are not at the goal.

If the private sector had done such a good job, we wouldn't be importing $2.3 trillion.

Has the Department gamed the impact that exports to Europe to displace Russian gas would have inside our economy?

And so we started thinking about how we could restore on the nutrition front the ability to grow and raise product.

We are finding we share some similar challenges, including many places where there are nutrition-short communities in this abundant society.

We began to engage in a discussion about how the Department of Energy and its vast research resources might serve as an integrator of capabilities that could help improve life in some of the most forgotten corners of this country.

I think, Congressman Fattah, through your leadership, things are beginning to bubble up inside the Department of Energy.
