Package had been lost. He indicates he now suffers from several Health Conditions as a result and has been informed that the v. A. Denies his benefits. A veteran from hutchinson indicated that hes been fighting with the v. A. For seven years on appeal. So hes got something pending with the v. A. Theyve provided him an answer that is unsatisfactory and he is appealing that decision. Claims the v. A. Continues to ignore the evidence he provides and intentionally attempts to drag out his appeal process. And he has difficulties finding updates on his appeal when he contacts the v. A. Just someone who calls the office, asked for our help, one more example. A veteran from wichita says that his doctor doctors have discovered a mass on his brain. This will require an m. R. I. To determine what the mass is. The earliest appointment available for him is on june the 30th and he, of course, as we all would be, is concerned over that long wait. So diagnosis of a brain a mass on the brain. Dont know
I just met with secretary shinseki and rub neighbors who i took really assigned to work with secretary senseki at the va and we focus on two issues the allegations of misconduct and Veterans Affairs facilities and a the Broader Mission of caring for our veterans and their families. As commander in chief i have the honor of standing with our men and women in uniform and every step of their service. In and the moment they take their oath to win our troops prepare to deploy to afghanistan where they put their lives on the line for our security to the bedside as our Wounded Warriors fight to recover from terrible injuries. The most searing moments of my presidency going to walter reed or bethesda or bagram and meeting troops who have left a part of themselves on the battlefield and their spirit and their determination to recover and often to serve again is always an inspiration. So these men and women and their families are the best that our country has to offer. They have done their duty
The evidence in secret appears to be overwhelming. And yet, why cant we do the american thing . Have a public trial, accuse them, and convict them in a court. It is more difficult to believe in the concept of innocent until Proven Guilty when the accused is unpopular or hated. The principle of innocent until Proven Guilty is more difficult when the accused is charged with treason. The bill of rights is easy. Its easy to defend when we like the speech or sympathize with the defendant. Defending the right of trial for people we fear or dislike is more difficult. Its extremely hard. But we have to defend the bill of rights or it will slip away from us. Its easy to support a trial for someone who looks like you, for someone who has the same color skin or for someone who has the same religion. Its easy. Presumption of innocence is, however, much harder when the citizen practices a minority religion, when the citizen resides in a foreign land or sympathizes with the enemy. Yet, our history i
Thats it for me for tonight. Is this approach toward afghanistan and prioritising well be back tomorrow. Now on bbc news, its withdrawal to the extent that we actually partnered time for hardtalk. With the taliban against welcome to hardtalk, im the elected afghan government. Stephen sackur. Donald trump hasnt yet i think thats a real travesty, stephen. Accepted it, but he will be and i think what were already seeing is the beginning out of the white house of a humanitarian catastrophe in january next year. Gone, but not forgotten. In afghanistan, and we may be back on the path his legacy can be seen toward the taliban and jihadist terrorists again controlling in a divided body politic, territory, controlling the narcotics trade, strained International Alliances and deep uncertainty about americas and then vastly expanding their geopolitical ambition. Threat to all civilised people. My guest today, hr mcmaster, so im very concerned served as mr trumps about this penchant National Secur
Competitors who are investing heavily in renewable and next Generation Energy technologies. I strongly urge that we defeat the previous question and i urge a no vote on the underlying bill. I yield back the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from colorado yields back the balance of his time. The gentleman from texas is recognized. Mr. Burgess thank you mr. Speaker. I yield myself the balance of our time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Burgess i cannot recall a place in the constitution where it says the house passes a bill, the senate cant pass it, so the house comes back and tries to find a better bill that maybe the senate will now take up. I wish that had happened on that health care stuff back in 2009 and 2010, we would have a lot better world today. The fact of the matter is the house has passed the student loan bill. The senate has the obligation to act. The deadline of july 1 was in fact provided to us by a funding clip the democr
