I don't think that 2 weeks of paid leave is too much for somebody to take, so hopefully we will do that.

I think we have just gotten a good reputation as a great place for veterans.

The right isn't worth anything if folks don't know they have it.

I would recommend that you take a look at Virginia's V3 Program, because we have a lot of veterans coming out to live in Virginia.

I think it would make sense for you guys to get that.

Mr. Chairman seemed very sympathetic to your budget plates in his opening statement.

Because it really is one of my pet peeves that we can't look at the code and actually see where--you know, not just see the changes to the code but actually get, a redlined version to the code.

You guys do an amazing amount of work for $70.8 million.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

Very good. Nice. And please keep us posted and let us know when it happens.

And thank you also for whatever role you played in helping the DOJ do the right thing and declare Howie's death a line-of-duty death.

I would love that tutorial. Thank you so much.

I think one of the issues is just awareness of them, I think.

Really, my question for you--because I know it is probably going to be something that resides mostly with the Library of Congress.

I am kind of curious about the paid family and medical leave policy that we have here in the Capitol.

If the mother of the child has healthcare, including when the child is in utero, the child 20 years down the road has better outcomes.

I hope that now people are more aware of some of those good things that we have going on here.

Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall No. 131. PERSONAL EXPLANATION

The job of a Federal air marshal is exhausting and isolating. Data from the Air Marshal Association show that air marshals are at high risk for extreme fatigue due to the long hours they spend on planes and their irregular sleep schedules…

I represent four airports--three regional and one international--and they are all really, really excited about this.

I think it might be an area that is kind of ripe for some pilot programs or something like that to really determine, you know, the ways that we can help at a deeper level.

I doubt very much that any such thing would be approved in Loudoun County anytime soon.

First of all, I would like to thank you and the Department for rescinding the deceptively named Preserving Community and Neighborhood Choice Rule and restoring the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule we talked about last year.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I also want to thank the witnesses for appearing today and for your testimony about this very important topic.

And to all the transgender kids across the country, please know that you do have supporters here in Congress.
