B
B
B
So
we'll
give
it
a
couple
more
minutes,
we'll
give
it
till
five
after
the
hour,
so
another
minute
or
two
and
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
get
started,
because
we
do
a
pretty
pretty
full
agenda
and
I
think
people
that
come
along
can
catch
up
with
us.
We
do
have
a
another
phone
caller
if
you
could
identify
yourself
whoever's
calling
in,
I
think
it's
a
303
number,
perhaps
we'd
like
to
just
put
your
name
on
the
on
the
screen.
So
we
know
who
you
are.
A
B
However,
in
2022
we
are
anticipating
a
return
to
in-person
meetings,
and
so
we'll
talk
more
about
that.
But
let
me
welcome
all
of
you
who
are
members
of
the
task
force
as
well
as
invited
guests,
and
we've
invited
a
number
of
state
legislators
and

military
veterans

many
states
of
our
nation

We

a
number
of
us
department

defense

roll
call
in
a
minute,
and
everybody's
name
will
be
I'll
read
through
all
the
names.
B
We're
not
going
to
have
time
for
specific
introductions
in
this
format,
but
we
are
going
to
break
into
some
smaller
groups
about
30
minutes
into
the
meeting
here.
So
you'll
have
an
opportunity
to
sit
with
a
smaller
group
of
of
your

marvin
abney
from

island.
B
B
E
B
B
A
B
B
B
B
Well,
let
me
say
this:
let's
say
I
mentioned
the
chat
roll
call
so
now
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
our
co-chairs
representative,
tina
orwell
from
the
state
of
washington
and
senator
bryce
reeves
from
the
commonwealth
of
virginia
they'll
each
offer
some
opening
remarks
tell
us
more
about
themselves
and
any
other
remarks
about
our
agenda
that
they
may
want
to
share.
So
representative
orwell,
the
florida.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
jim,
and
thank
you
to
all
the
ncsl
stuff,
great
work.
You
do
I'm
from
washington
state,
which
is
not
the
sunny
state.
I
think
it's
the
rainy
state,
but
we
call
it
and
I'm
very
proud.
I
think
there
are
four
representatives
from
washington
state
and
not
that
it's
a
contest,
but
it's
good
to
see
them
here
today.
C
So
you
know
my
background.
I'm
a
mental
health,
professional,
a
social
worker.
My
dad
who
was
such
a
big
part
of
my
life,
was
a
world
war
ii
veteran
and
he
had
us
moved
to
whidbey
island.
So
I
grew
up
next
to
the
naval
base
and
you
know
such
an
important
part
of
my
life
is
supporting
the
men
and
women
who
have
served
our
country,
and
so
it's
such
an
honor
to
be
part
of
this
group
and
to
be
with
you
here.
C
I
learned
so
much
about
the
great
work
you're
doing
in
the
different
states.
So
I'm
here
to
learn
today
from
all
of
you
and
excited
to
hear
about
your
builds.
I
also
want
to
recognize
it's
a
very
challenging
time.
You
know
you
used
to
say
to
people.
How
are
you
and
no
one
says
mine
anymore?
People
are
stressed
and
overwhelmed,
and
I
just
really
want
to
say
I
hope
you're
doing
well,
I
hope
you're
taking
good
care
of
yourself.
C
I
know
in
washington,
they've
been
delivering
food
they've
been
helping
on
the
stomach,
they've
been
helping,
our
over
stress,
stress
health
care
system,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
minute
to
really
acknowledge
all
the
great
work
they're
doing
in
our
country.
But
again,
I'm
really
honored
to
be
here.
I
think
we
have
a
great
agenda
and
again,
I'm
looking
forward
to
really
hearing
from
you
and
learning
from
the
work
you're
doing.
Thank
you.
F
I'm
a
sitting
senator
have
been
for
about
10
years,
I'm
also
a
candidate
for
congress
right
now,
so
my
schedule
is
just
completely
stupid,
but
jim
and
I
actually
got
together
last
night
and
went
over
a
couple
of
things.
I'm
a
former
army
infantry
officer
served
in
the
ranger
battalion
in
the
special
ops
community.
I
also
was
in
law
enforcement
and
for
the
last
10
years,
I've
always
said
that
shoots,
moves
or
indicates
in
a
uniform.
F
It's
come
under
our
our
jurisdiction,
so
we've
done
a
lot
in
the
commonwealth.
We
have
33
military
installations
and
we
also
have
a
pentagon,
and
so
military,
especially
veterans
services,
are
of
great
importance
to
the
commonwealth,
and
so
when
we
get
to
that
section
where
we
start
talking
about
legislation,
some
of
those
things,
we
definitely
have
some
ideas
about
how
to
get
on
dod's
radar
to
make
sure
you're
doing
the
right
things.
F
F
It
did
affect
a
lot
of
localities
in
some
states,
so
ways
to
protect
yourself
for
your
state
and
advocate
on
behalf
of
of
your
units
and
duty
stations,
and
I
want
to
just
tell
representative
orwell
as
well.
Thank
you
for
being
my
co-chair
with
this
task
force
and
then
also
about
our
guard,
and
I
will
tell
you
in
virginia,
we
have
sent
about
25
000
of
our
guardsmen
forward
into
theater.
B
Senator
reeves
and
representative
barwell,
thank
you
so
much
and
just
really
appreciate
your
leadership
as
co-chairs
of
this
military
veterans
affairs
task
force
through
these
difficult
times
as
you've
referenced
and
and
it
is
bipartisan,
each
of
you
being
from
different
parties.
We
and
we
try
and
keep
a
balance
as
far
as
partisanship
party
affiliation.
Let
me
say
about
the
members
and
we're
we're
kind
of
right
at
50
50
and,
as
you
said,
it's
it's
very
bipartisan
issues.
B
National
security
and
supporting
our
veterans
is,
I
think,
something
we
can
all
agree
on.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that,
and
at
this
point
let
me
turn
it
over
to
senator
josh
revac
from
the
state
of
alaska.
He
is
he's
a
vice
chair
of
our
company
of
our
task
force
here
and
senator
rebecca.
Maybe
you
introduce
yourself
briefly
and
you're
gonna
lead
us
in
the
in
the
pledge.
E
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
that
you
do
particularly
putting
that
event
together
was
was
moving
to
many,
and
so
I
think
it
went
over
really
well,
so
I'm
going
to
lead
us
in
the
pledge
of
allegiance,
I'm
just
going
to
continue
through
it,
so
that
we
don't
have
I'm
sure
we'll
have
echoes
and
stuff.
So
if
you
can
mute
your
phone
that'd
be
great
and
just
follow
me.
E
B
Appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
senator
evac,
okay
moving
to
the
next
part
of
our
agenda
and
you
you've
referenced
the
special
tribute
to
military
veterans
serving
as
state
legislators
and
legislative
staff,
and
for
that
for
this
section
and
we're
gonna
show
the
video
of
that
presentation
here
in
a
couple
minutes.
But
let
me
first
turn
it
over
to
representative
orwall,
who
will
introduce
this
and
then
senator
ryback
will
say
a
few
more
words
and
then
we'll
show
the
the
video
from
that
time.
B
C
E
We
often
hear,
as
I
knock
doors
campaigning
in
the
district,
I
hear
we
need
more
veterans
in
office
and
I
think
it
just
was
moving
to
see
the
level
of
military
experience,
not
just
those
who
have
served,
but
those
who
have
served
on
task
forces
like
this
and
people
who
dedicate
their
time
and
all
their
energy
toward
issues
related
to
military
and
veterans
and
there's
several
of
those
here.
That's
especially
moving
for
folks
who
have
never
served,
who
care
so
much
about
the
military
and
our
veterans
and
their
families.
E
So
it
was.
It
was
very
special
for
me.
We
had
a
speaker.
I
don't
think
we
can
show
the
video
because
of
licensing
issues,
but
bernice
armour
was
the
first
female
african-american
combat
helicopter
pilot
in
the
marine
corps,
and
she
was
just
an
absolute
amazing
speaker,
very
animated.
A
lot
of
takeaways
related
to
that
all
of
us
can
relate
to
our
lives
in
her
speech,
and
it
was
really
good.
So,
just
I
I
hats
off
to
ncsl
again
and
staff,
I'm
really
happy
to
be
a
part
of
this
task
force.
E
E
B
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
senator
yep,
so
we're
gonna
move
to
the
video
I'll
be
sharing
my
screen.
We've
tested
this
and
it
worked
in
practice,
and
so
hopefully
it'll
work
this
morning
and
then
we'll
come
back
once
the
video
runs,
as
I
mentioned,
it's
seven
minutes
and
40
seconds
or
so,
and
then
we'll
have
any
reactions
that
any
of
you
might
want
to
share
and
senator
ryback
will
give
give
his
reaction
again
and
perhaps
senator
you
could
moderate
any
comments
that
people
have.
B
E
A
D
Good
morning,
colleagues
and
a
special
salute
to
our
military
veterans
that
are
here
with
us
today,
I'm
thrilled
to
be
here
with
you
and
the
vet
with
veterans
day
just
one
week
away.
I'm
pleased
that
ncsl
has
chosen
to
dedicate
this
session
to
honoring
those
who
have
served
our
country,
I'm
proud
to
be
on
this
stage
with
the
flags
that
represent
the
six
branches
of
the
united
states
military
service.
D
You
saw
the
names
of
the
military
veterans
serving
in
the
state
legislatures,
as
you
walked
in
today,
or
perhaps
you
saw
the
signs
outside
the
general
session
area
at
this
time.
I
would
like
to
ask
all
military
veterans
who
are
working
as
staff
and
those
who
are
in
the
legislature
to
please
stand
if
you're
able,
so
that
we
can
recognize
you
for
your
service.
D
I
would
like
to
ask
all
of
you
who
just
stood
if
you
can
join
us
afterwards
on
stage,
so
that
we
can
take
a
group
photo
together.
I
also
have
a
special
invitation
to
all
the
legislators
there
in
the
room
today.
Please
attend
the
ncsl
business
meeting
tomorrow
right
here
in
this
room,
where
we
will
be
considering
a
memorial
resolution
about
the
legislator
and
legislative
staff
of
veterans.
D
Washington's
representative,
tina
orwall,
who
is
a
co-chair
of
ncsl's
task
force
on
the
military
veterans
affairs,
has

Also,
a

of
the

served
two
tours

iraq
with
the
united
states
army.
Please
help
me
welcome
both
representative
orwell
and
senator
revac
to
stage.
C
Thank
you,
president.
Garcia
ncsl's
commitment
to
respecting
and
supporting
military
veterans
service
members
and
their
families
is
long-standing
active.
Now
for
nearly
15
years,
the
ncsl
military
and
veteran
affairs
task
force
made
up
of
state
legislators
and
legislative
staff
share
best
practices
and
innovations
that
help
service
members
and
veterans
in
their
states,
particularly
on
employment,
mental
health
and
education
task
force.
Members
engage
with
leaders
at
military
installations
on
community
military
relationships
and
land
use
planning
around
installations.
C
E
She
makes
beautiful
quilts
brenda
created
two
quilts
for
donation
to
the
quilts
of
valor
foundation
on
behalf
of
ncsl,
quilts
of
valor
was
started
by
a
blue
star
mother
in
2003,
and
a
handmade
quill
to
valor
is
considered
the
highest
civilian
award
that
can
be
presented
to
a
service.
Member
or
veteran
who's
been
touched
by
war,
and
this
is
a
very
special
personal
honor.
For
me
to
be
able
to
present
these
quilts.
E
E
E
E
Thank
you
allison,
and
I
know
that
you
will
ensure
that
these
quilts
are
presented
to
service
members
and
veterans
in
a
in
a
very
timely
manner.
We're
excited
about
that,
and
I
also
know
that
at
any
given
point
in
time.
You
have
more
than
ten
thousand
nominations
for
quilts
for
recipients
wow.
Thank
you!
So
much
for
all
you
do
and
your
team
and
quilts
of
valor.
We
appreciate
it
so
much
and
if
everybody
could
help
me,
give
a
just
a
huge
round
of
applause
for
allison
and
quilts
of
valor.
B
E
Well,
yeah,
thank
you
just
again
it
was.
It
was
very
moving
for
me.
I
know
when
we
took
a
photo
on
the
stage.
I
think
I
think
veterans
were
very
touched
by
by
the
whole
event,
presentation
and
honoring
veterans
in
that
way
very
quickly.
I'll
just
mention
a
couple
things
related
to
military
and
veterans
that
we
that
we've
done
here
in
alaska
just
to
leave
with
you
before
we
go
if
there.
E
This
is
this
is
due
to
some
federal
policy
changes
in
in
recent
years,
and
so
we
got
that
passed
last
year.
If
anybody
wants
any
questions,
please
reach
out
to
my
office.
Another
thing
I
know:
that's
a
pretty
pretty
big
issue
nationally
is
is
licensure
for
military
spouses.
Here
we
are
having
a
quite
a
delay
in
military
spousal,
occupational
licensure.
E
We
are
able
to
pass
a
measure
that
that
forced
our
administration
to
issue
temporary
licenses
within
30
days,
and
what
we
found
is
that
that
sped
up
quite
a
bit
the
licensure
process
for
our
military
spouses,
and
so
any
of
those
things
we're
very
proud
of
this
legislation.
It's
helped
a
lot
of
folks.
If
anybody
has
any
questions
reach
out
to
our
office
and
again
this
this
military
and
veterans
task
force
for
those
purposes
is
really
really
beneficial.
C
E
All
right,
thank
you
tina,
it
was.
It
was
I
I
feel
the
same
way
that
was
very,
very
fun
and
heartwarming,
so
we
can
move
on
to
questions.
I
I'm
on
my
cell
phone
so
we'll
need
somebody
to.
I
can't
see
anybody
who
might
raise
their
hand
here
or
anybody
who
has
comments
or
questions.
So
maybe
I
could
get
a
get
a
hand
with
that.
B
B
Some
of
the
things
they've
done
there
in
alaska,
so
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
do
that.
One
of
the
things
I
neglected
earlier
on
the
agenda
is
we
were
going
to
do
a
a
screen,
a
zoom
screen
capture,
so
we
can
have
a
photograph
of
all
of
us
that
are
participating
in
the
call
and
it
looks
like
we
may
need
to
photograph
two
screens
because
we're
spilling
over
to
two
screens.
B
So,
if
you're
able,
if
you're
willing
turn
your
video
on
and
we'll
and
gretchen
will
do
a
screen
capture
for
us
here
in
about
in
a
few
in
in
a
couple
of
minutes,
here,
looks
like
we
have
almost
everybody
yeah
anybody
that
wants
to
yeah
and
maybe,
if
you
wanna,
smile
or
wave
or
whatever,
maybe
on
the
count
of
three
when
gretchen
gretchen.
Are
you
ready
to
do
this.
B
B
We're
excited
about
planning
our
next
in-person
meeting
and
turns
out
that
she'll
have
a
very
close
connection
with
it,
along
with
her
colleague,
representative
levitt.
So
let
me
turn
the
floor
back
to
you,
representative
orwell,
and
I
think
you're
also
going
to
call
him
representative
levitt.
Thank
you.
C
Yes,
thank
you
jim.
We
are
so
excited
that
the
next
meeting
is
going
to
be
in
washington
state
and,
of
course
we
cannot
wait
to
welcome
you
all
and
that
will
be
accompanied
by
tours
and
that's
coming
up
in
may
and
I
don't
have
the
dates
in
front
of
me,
but
I
think
it's
may
4th
and
5th.
Is
that
correct,
jim.
B
C
19Th
and
20th,
so
we're
going
to
work
together
to
make
sure
you
are
welcome
and
have
a
great
time
in
washington
state
one
of
things
in
my
district
and
if
you've
ever
flown
into
ctac.
You've
been
in
my
district,
but
is
blue
origin
and
you
know
working
on
getting
people
into
space,
and
so
we'd
like
to
try
to
arrange
a
tour
for
that
and
also
representative
amari
levitt.
Is
here
and
she's
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
her
district.
A
You
join
us
and
look
forward
to
the
tours
and
I'm
meeting
with
lieutenant
general
branson
in
a
couple
weeks
and
and
mentioning
that
we
have
such
a
distinguished
guest
who
will
be
joining
us
and
look
forward
to
to
his
welcoming
you
all
and
to
jblm
and
giving
you
a
tour
and
letting
you
see
all
the
great
work
that
we're
doing
here
in
washington
state
all
right.
Thank
you.
B
B
So
we
will
have
that
information
out
as
well.
I
do
not
have
those
dates
in
front
of
me,
but
I
believe
it's
the
first
week
in
august,
so
look
forward
to
to
seeing
you
all
in
person
at
those
events,
and
there
may
be
some
other
opportunities
to
join
together
along
the
way
with
a
webinar
or
perhaps
another
zoom
call
like
this.
We're
not
sure
exactly
with
that.
B
We
we
are
privileged
today
to
have
jamie
simon,
previously
introduced
she's
with
the
reppy
office,
which
is
the
readiness
and
environmental
protection
protection
integration
office
of
the
department
of
defense
and
she's
been
working
with
us,
and
she
has
helped
fund
some
of
our
work
here
at
ncsl
for
a
long
time,
a
number
of
years
and
she's
going
to
briefly
introduce
herself
a
little
more
and
give
an
overview
of
reppy
programs
that
might
be
of
interest
to
you.
So
gretchen
is
going
to
share
her
screen
to
put
up
jamie's
presentation.
A
G
Okay,
well
one.
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
for
letting
me
speak
on
today's
meeting.
I'm
excited
to
tell
you
guys
more
about
the
department
of
defense's
readiness
and
environmental
protection
integration
program
or
for
short
ruffy,
and
so,
as
you
can
tell
it's
a
mouthful,
I'm
just
going
to
call
it
recce
from
here
on
out
I'd
like
to
start
just
explaining
why
partnerships,
especially
with
states,
are
critical
to
protesting
the
department
of
defense's
mission
and
critical
operations.
So
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
I'd
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
G
So
these
natural
and
undeveloped
landscapes,
like
the
one
you
see
here,
provide
our
installations
and
ranges
with
access
to
realistic
training,
environments
and
safe,
open
space
for
testing
new
vehicles,
aircrafts
and
weapon
systems.
So,
as
you
can
see,
depicted
pretty
simplistically,
I'm
just
going
to
call
this
fort.
Bravo,
so
we
have,
you
know
fort.
Bravo,
here
outside
of
the
fence
line,
we
have
you
know
some
water,
some
forest.
You
can
see
some
military
training
happening
outside
the
fence
line.
G
G
Therefore,
we
need
to
partner
with
local
stakeholders
to
include
states
to
promote
compatible
land
use,
protect
important
habitat
and
natural
resources
and
enhance
resilience
in
the
face
of
climate
change.
So
there
are
numerous
ways
in
which
the
department
works
with
communities
and
states
to
sustain
natural
landscapes
around
our
installations,
which
you
can
see
here.
So
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
them
today,
because
I'm
really
going
to
focus
on
the
refu
program,
particularly
in
terms
of
climate.
G
We
have
a
pretty
exciting
program
called
fentanyl
landscapes,
which
I
would
love
to
talk
to
you
more
about,
but
also
we
have
a
fentanyl
landscape
right
there
at
joint
base,
lewis
mcchord
and
then
many
compatible
use
plans
out
in
our
community.
So
you
can
see
here.
Things
have
expanded
in
terms
of
some
of
the
challenges
that
dod
faces
today
next
slide.
Please.
G
So
today,
I'm
going
to
just
focus
a
little
bit
more
about
how
the
refu
program
works,
with
military
leadership,
government
officials,
states,
land
trusts
and
counties
to
address
any
current
or
impending
encroachment
threats.
As
some
of
you
may
know,
refi
has
traditionally
focused
on
encroachment
threats
stemming
from
land
use
conservation
around
our
bases,
namely
in
terms
of
incompatible
development
and
habitat
loss.
G
As
they
increase
their
climate
resiliency
by
executing
prescribed
burns
to
reduce
risk
of
wildfire,
installing
storm
weather
drainage
basins,
to
protect
groundwater
resources
and
constructing
living
shorelines,
to
reduce
erosion,
to
name
a
few
examples.
So
these
projects,
along
with
other
reppy
proposals,
would
not
be
possible
without
support
from
other
federal
state
and
local
programs.
G
And
then,
as
you
can
see
here,
you
know
repeat,
supports
projects
all
across
the
country
with
a
wide
variety
of
partners.
So
many
conservation
and
land
trust
organizations,
as
I
say
before-
definitely
federal
and
state
agencies
and
numerous
county
and
local
governments.
So
to
date
the
refugee
program
has
about
115
locations
in
35
states
and
territories
across
the
country
and
through
these
part
projects
the
department
of
defense
has
been
able
to
leverage
over
a
billion
dollars
in
department
of
defense
funds
and
over
900
million
in
partner
funds.
G
G
So
again,
dod
funds
can
be
used
as
matched
with
other
federal
agencies.
So,
just
to
give
an
example
would
be
our
reppy
dollars
can
be
used
as
a
match
for
the
fema
brook
program.
If
you
guys
are
familiar
with
that
federal
program,
that's
a
billion
dollar
program
that
does
require
a
25,
non-federal
cost
sharing
requirement,
and
so
our
dod
dollars
could
be
matched
and
used
as
that
25
match.
So
a
really
exciting
authority
change
for
us.
G
So,
if
stated,
you
know
repeat
now:
150
million
dollar
program
again
that
money
goes
directly
out
to
the
states
to
support
military
readiness
and
then
to
give
an
example
on
some
of
the
things
we're
trying
to
do
to
promote
resilient
bases,
because
we
started
a
repeat
challenge.
The
repute
challenge
is
a
competition
with
funds
we
put
about
40
million
dollars
available
this
year
in
funds
which
state
and
local
governments
can
apply.
G
G
We
do
have
state
profiles
on
all
the
states
that
we
have
reppy
projects
in
so
again,
35
states,
so
you
can
find
your
state
fact
sheet,
which
will
go
over
kind
of
the
economics
of
deity
economics
in
your
state,
as
well
as
the
different
projects
we
have
currently
in
the
moment.
So
again,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
today.
I'm
going
to
turn
it
back
over
but
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
I
know
I
threw
kind
of
a
lot
at
you,
so
thank
you.
B
B
So
I
don't
know
if
there
are
any
questions
or
comments.
We
are
we're
pretty
much
right
on
schedule
for
our
agenda
today,
but
if
there
was
one
or
two
quick
questions
for
jamie,
we
could
certainly
entertain
those
any
questions
before
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
senator
reeves
here
in
a
minute
he's
going
to
kick
off
our
breakout
sessions.
G
B
B
B
F
Yeah
jim,
thank
you.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about
was
getting
into
smaller
groups
and
finding
out
what
best
practices
are
in
the
states.
Maybe
some
legislation,
some
of
you
all
and
the
vice
chairman
spoke
to
just
a
little
briefly
about
a
couple
of
things.
They
were
doing
where
he
is,
and
so
what
we
wanted
to
do
was
make
sure
that
we
had
some
synergy
going
and
we
thought
the
best
way
to
do
that,
rather
than
one
big
group
is
to
break
down
in
small
task
force
and
so
jim.
F
B
Yeah
so
gretchen's
gonna
do
whatever
gets
done
behind
the
scenes
and
zoom
to
break
us
into
groups
and
they'll
be
an
ncsl
staff
person
in
each
one
who
kind
of
kick
it
off
and
it's
pretty
straightforward.
But
everyone
will
have
a
chance
to
introduce
themselves
and
say
a
few
words
about.
What's
going
on
in
your
state
for
military
and
veterans
and
yeah,
what's
what's
innovative
and
opportune
coming
up
in
the
next
year.
C
C
I
don't
know
if
she's
still
on
the
call,
but
we
did
want
to
acknowledge
jamie
simon
from
dod
in
her
presentation,
and
I
I
think
she
may
have
jumped
off,
and
we
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
attending
and
the
time
and
your
feedback
today,
and
I
also
want
to
do
just
a
very
special
thank
you
to
the
ncsl
staff.
I
know
this
takes
a
lot
of
your
time
and
talents
to
set
this
up
and
we're
just
so
grateful
for
you
know
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
bringing
us
together.
B
We
thank
you,
representative
orwell.
We
appreciate
that
we
all
are
very
committed
and
just
to
have
a
have
a
heart
for
for
this
kind
of
work
to
all
of
us
on
on
the
staff
that
work
on
this.
So
thank
you
and
we
we
appreciate
and
we
enjoy
the
opportunity,
maybe
give
senator
reids
the
closing
comment
and
then
we'll
roll.
The
video
that
lists
all
the
names
and
so
we'll
just
do
that
at
the
end
and
feel
free
to
stay
on
and
watch
it
if
you'd
like.
F
B
Great,
I
really
appreciate
that,
so
I'm
gonna
roll,
the
video
before
I
do
just.
Let
me
also
express
my
gratitude
to
each
and
everybody
each
and
every
one
of
you
who
joined
our
call
today
and
we'll
be
sending
more
information
and
those
that
aren't
on
the
task
force
feel
free
to
reach
out
for
information
about
how
to
join,
and
we
just
appreciate
your
time
and
effort
today
to
join
us.
