This mission to degrade and ultimately defeat ISIS requires a coordinated response between the Executive and the Legislative Branches.

Are we doing enough at Treasury, the United States, our intelligence agencies, to determine who the middlemen are that are purchasing oil at $30 a barrel?

What makes ISIS unique is their ability to self-finance their terror interests.

Do you believe they are manufactured in that region or are they being imported from somewhere else?

The Philadelphia VA Regional Office is broken.

It is the blood of my fellow veterans that we are talking about here; the people who pay our salaries; they deserve better!

I am not confident that the Philadelphia VA has identified the right fix.

Congressman Ellison and I introduced the Credit Access and Inclusion Act last year to help those who are termed 'credit-invisibles.'

At the meeting, which I would describe as a pep rally, Scott Pluta twice described this committee's oversight efforts as 'political theater.'

I find it hard to believe, based on what I heard about Philadelphia recently...

I want to thank you for that. We saw that in Philadelphia with the USO organization there and, of course, we all hope that you can bring that enthusiasm and that success and bring it back to the organization at the VA
