"We all want to take care of our veterans, OK?"

"I am also for eliminating that, so if there is a duplication that we have that allows you all to declare an emergency within a week or two and not give us enough notice, we will do away with that one."

"I assume this bill is going to pass, probably, if it comes out and goes to the floor."
