What comes to mind for me is what percentage of those losses are repeat attacks, meaning they happen more than once.

But that is happening right now.

This is clearly an error we have to get back to statute on.

But if the Federal Government plans to tell certain manufacturers you have to manufacture different, when at the same time encouraging NOx emissions in other ways based on another mandate, we have a problem.

But that means there was never a plan to finalize this.

Most vehicle warranties will be void if they use the E15.

So you need clarity from Congress in a piece of legislation on what this would be to be able to help you in this decision.

The intent of it wasn't to increase ethanol usage, it was energy independence.

So what is the key issue there? When you say this is difficult, situations change.

There is no sense of urgency to get this done.

There is really no plan.

Just another transparency number, and that is the Medicaid numbers. I'm trying to get accurate numbers based on the expansion that occurred.

The CBO number, I think, originally for the end of this year was 13 million. Is that correct?

So is that every month we'll get those after that? Will it be every 2 months?

Will we just get monthly snapshots from here on out?

We have the numbers for this month, the 6.7 million that have the enrollment.

If the grant is given to them and those dollars can be used after January the 1st, 2015, that's contrary to the law.

The State of Vermont has had some conversations about the cost overruns that they're experiencing this year on the exchange.

Obviously in many agencies there are more grants than there are contracts that are going out now, so that's pretty important that we get the grant/loan part of this as well consistent within obviously the DATA Act making that same request…

So that should be completed by May 15 as well, trying to get that definition across the agencies so they have a consistent understanding of that word?

I thank the gentleman from Texas. Mr. Speaker, this vote is not an acknowledgement of the President's plan because we have not seen the plan. Bombing some of ISIS' facilities and training 5,000 foreign fighters is not a plan. If ISIS is a…

I think that's a reasonable question to ask any agency that doesn't have investigative intelligence responsibilities.

I don't like it when I read reports from the Attorney General when he writes back to the inspector general and says, I have determined that providing the OIG with access to it is helpful to me, and so I'm going to turn this over because…

I have a real issue when any agency steps in and says, I know Congress has required all these pages to be turned over, but we've discussed it as an agency and we're not going to turn it over.

The specific goal of this hearing is to be able to determine how do we keep this from happening again.
