Derek Kilmer: “I think I have concluded is a Latin word for stupid”

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

My gratitude to Chairwoman Bice and to you, Mr. Chairman, and to Ranking Member Morelle, is that you are loving critics of the institution, and that matters.

My hope is, regardless of which party holds the gavels, that that Subcommittee continues, because the work of institutional improvement needs to continue.

I am hoping to leave my campsite better than I found it.
