CHAIRMAN CULBERSON OPENING STATEMENT
Mr. CULBERSON. Good morning. I want to welcome everyone here
to today's hearing on military quality of life for our
servicemembers. Really one of the most important things that we
do is to ensure the peace of mind of our men and women in uni-
form. It is an extraordinary privilege for me to serve as chairman
of this Committee, but I really feel like a Co-Chairman because
this Committee is-there are no party labels or distinctions; we are
all here on behalf of our constituents to do everything we can to
support our men and women in uniform.
What a privilege it is for me to serve with our Co-Chairman,
Sanford Bishop, and the work that he has done over the years on
this subcommittee has been a great asset to me, as I still sort of
feel like the new kid on the block here, with this immense responsi-
bility we have to look after the men and women in uniform.
And, Sanford, you have been a great role model to me and a
great, tremendous help as we have worked together over the last
several years on this Committee.
Delighted to have David Price of North Carolina working with
us, as well, with his experience and knowledge of the issues that
involve quality of life for our military.
I also want to welcome our new members of the subcommittee:
Congressman David Valadao of California, and Congresswoman
Martha Roby of Alabama. Congressman Valadao represents the
21st district of California, an agricultural area, and we are looking
forward to helping him do everything we can to make sure they get
plenty of water in his part of the country.
So we know how vital that is to the economy in your area, and
also vital to the rest of us in the country when we go shopping.
