I wonder whether you can help me in an assessment. I'm looking at all the witnesses the committee has had so far....
I want to thank everyone from the military who has been here so far. I think your commitment and your energy are absolutely wonderful. I've never seen so many people in the clinical environment taking so much to heart their helping of our military. It's absolutely amazing.
The problem I see—and I wonder whether you see the same thing—and the feeling we get is that there will be cuts. Finally we're getting somewhere, but at this point the cuts are coming in.
Then, we're also referring a lot to civilian life. We're getting reports that there are military personnel who can't get access to these programs, that they're just not sufficient and that we need to do more. They end up having to go into civilian life, and while there is a collaboration with the civilian system, it is not up to par with the studies you're doing.
So where are we going with all of this? It's very confusing and we need to clarify this.
