I am concerned that the current VISN structure is leading to unclear roles and responsibilities at the highest levels of VA management.

So then why did some of these disasters happen in some of these VISNs? And if that is the role and responsibilities, why did it happen?

We need to come together to figure out the best way to ensure vital research to advance veterans health care needs is funded.

I am concerned that VA's current research budget is not keeping pace with inflation.
