That is a very positive development. For those 370,000 individuals, this is great news.

I have been working at introducing new legislation in this Congress--as a matter of fact, we introduced it yesterday--that basically would exempt smaller institutions from the post Dodd-Frank HMDA data reporting requirements.

My concern is from a Montana perspective that if we continue without adjustment, with all the best of interest, we will end up not having access to capital in rural America.

We need to have a profitable banking system, quite frankly, and we need to have credit unions out there that are doing what they need to do to make sure that they are serving their customers.

Gentlemen, I just want to talk a little bit about the difference between the proposed CARE plan and Choice as it is today.

Drive 170 miles if you want your glasses.

But we want the veterans out there who right now might be seeing a Choice Program which is being improved...

It does not sound like it is a joint decision.

This has got to be resolved, Mr. Chairman.

We need the reforms.

I am sorry, but there is something wrong with this process, sir.

I think this--you know, I like what you are trying to do at the VA.

How about putting it in the law?

Last year, Congress passed the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act by unanimous votes in both chambers.

I most certainly think that additional resources would be welcome and that when we start talking about investment in infrastructure...

If it has been 3 years and we actually have nuclear attack submarines that are sitting at dock and we still do not have a plan in place to get out or at least there is not a plan that we have heard yet, it seems to me that that is one area…

I like the idea of having the additional carrier. With that also comes THE reason for having the carrier and that is the air group that comes with it.

I just think some of the questions which they have asked really do deserve to be able--we should be able to get an answer to them one way or another before we actually get into this.

While we want to see a simplification, and I think a lot of people out there would love to see that happen, there is also a concern that, as the President would suggest, it is truly time to prime the pump similar to the way that it…

I am concerned by the President's proposed, as we call it, the skinny budget, which provided no funding for TIGER grants for fiscal year 2018.

Rest assured we would love to provide additional input and advice as you come to making the decisions in this particular case.

Not only does it impact some very rural areas that are able to obtain some Federal dollars in this process.

In my former life, I sold insurance at the regional level, and we did business with a lot of regional carriers who really, during the really tough times, they stayed with us.

Thank you, Mr. President. My colleague and friend, the Senator from Delaware, is also a former Governor, and it is always enjoyable to listen to the experiences and clearly the understanding about a number of the issues we have in common…

Our goal here is to get results.
