"The budget request of $271 billion in fiscal year 2022 for the Department of Veterans Affairs... represents a 10.4 percent increase over fiscal year 2021 enacted levels."

"It is such a huge, huge issue, a big expense, and just, you know, a gigantic project that is so, so very important."

"Again, thank you all for being here today. We appreciate you for taking the time to, again, talk about this very important subject."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman."
