Sherrod Brown actually said...

"Thank you for holding the hearing and obviously congratulations to both of you."

"This hearing is important for a lot of reasons today."

"Indeed, it is certainly important, but what I found and I think everybody who is here in Congress has found that the lack of personal attention to soldiers' claims is the driving force."

"I am hopeful that you will look at every aspect of the Administration's budget and eliminate any duplication, streamline, consolidate, and really weed out every last dollar."
