Request i want to thank you, mr. Chairman, for allowing me to ask that question in case i have to leave. Thank you. Senator heller. Thank you for your testimony and everybody thats here today. Its good to see you here. At 4 30 this afternoon i have the secretary coming into my office and im going to ask him a lot of questions. Im going to ask him obviously about the veterans backlog issue and progress if any are being made. The issue of lack of communication between my office and reno will be another question that im going to ask and hopefully get a good answer for. But there are other questions that you might think that i should ask him. Are there any questions, if you were talking to the secretary today, what question would that be, and im going to take notes and this is your chance to advocate. I wouldnt presume, sir, to tell you what to ask the secretary, although the secretary is an Airborne Ranger like me, so he is my friend. He has told me that he will reduce the backlog by 2015

Sophia had ruled all of these people out because they were registered democrats, i would not have had the confidence. Im not saying that i shouldnt have asked the question. But anyway. If you have competent people, they are going to do much better than if you dont. The first job is to form your team and give people who are competent. If something happens that is surprisingly good to my would like ted know about that, too. We can learn from those things. You have got to give people leaders and objectives and hold accountable. Accountability is very important. Economics or governmental systems
Was interested in so many things. It it was not clear why she had empathy andrest for advocacy for native americans island i wonder if your guests could explain about that. I think there were some indian chieftans who came to the white house to visit, and i think they made a great impression on her, and she became interested in indian welfare. And she was interested in their education. She was interested in their medical well being and health. Which was a very it was a proper thing for her to be interested in. Nobody is going to be objecting to educating children or taking care of people who were sick. So it was certainly a good thing for her to do. The indians thought of her as their great white mother. You talked about the first lady and the white house. She had connections to the Johns Hopkins hospital and the pediatric unit she set up. Well talk about that in a minute. A question from jenny webber. Harriet lane had a cutter named after her. Also, i heard she got into trouble for th
