Derek Kilmer: “Thank you, Chairman McHenry and Ranking Member Waters, for holding this hearing today.”

This retreat would provide a rare opportunity to engage with one another outside of the pressures of Washington, D.C.

You know, you mentioned the baseball field, you know, only because Leader Scalise was a Member of leadership was Capitol Police even present that day.

I am grateful to my colleague and friend, Congressman Brad Wenstrup, for serving on our first panel today.

I was proud to introduce the BUDS Resolution along with Representative Young Kim, who, in an ideal world, would be listed as a lead sponsor as well.
