I am really glad we have the opportunity now to assess what we need to do to support our communities through the important programs here at the Department of Agriculture.

I will certainly want to follow up, and be able to track this with some granularity.

Thank you for prioritizing the Dairy Business Innovation Initiative in your budget.

The success of their operation is significantly improved when they are able to consult a grazing expert.

I find it particularly ironic, especially given your own powerful story, that you don't see this power dynamics.

This year, I am again supporting this effort, asking for $75,000,000 for preacquisition and design activities.

If you truly want a direct relationship with your workforce. I would suggest to you that a union can provide that.

I was able to secure funding for the Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative in the fiscal years 2022 and 2023.

I am advocating for additional funding for the frigate industrial base and workforce in fiscal year 2024.

Senator Baldwin and I introduced the emergency vacating of aircraft cabin, or EVAC Act, to require realistic testing.

Thank you so much for being before the Committee today on this incredibly important issue and for your tireless advocacy on behalf of our veterans in Wisconsin and across the country.

It is time for Congress to act.
