I do have some additional questions for all of our panelists.

For the last 11 years, WIA often has not had the level of evaluation and reporting that it should.

Earlier this week, we learned that nearly 330,000 people are unemployed and looking for work in Washington State.

We have a lot of work to do. There are a lot of Veterans who have skills they earned in the military that do not count towards traditional business credentials.

Helping workers and employers access the information and services needed to be competitive is a win for everyone.

I believe, now more than ever, that building a competitive and skilled workforce is the issue that will make or break us as a nation.

we thank this Committee for the opportunity to submit testimony for the record.

I love the video idea of showing the Lioness documentary at VA facilities.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

I think that it is important that care be more comprehensive.

While it is the official policy of the military that women can not serve in combat, many of you talked about your experiences, whether it is Traumatic Stress Syndrome, being close to IED explosions, or being injured.
