I appreciate it. It is hard to improve upon your eloquence because you are speaking in favor of Dr. Fleming being able to advise a veteran, if he was back at the VA, to say don't use medical marijuana. This directive would prohibit him…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Oregon will be postponed. Amendment Offered by Mr. Runyan

I appreciate the gentlelady's courtesy and the points that she made. I heard my friend, the chair of the committee, talk about it being against the law. I am not aware of any place--and I would direct this to Mr. Culberson--I am not aware…

Any of my colleagues, whether they are in the State that has legalized medical marijuana or not, can find examples of veterans who are benefiting from this treatment, yet the Veterans Administration specifically prohibits its medical…

At this point, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentlelady from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee), a distinguished member of the Judiciary Committee.
