Elizabeth Esty: “We need to get acting doing our jobs so the American people can get back to doing theirs.”

We should not expect our veterans to be experts in appeals law, Veterans Affairs regulations. That is not their job. It is our job to take care of them.

I want to thank the under secretary and his team for staying.

I want to make sure that VA is using RAMP to inform the new system, and not as a means to disguise a true size of the appeals backlog.

I believe it is a model that for large-scale policymaking that other Committees--this Committee and other Committees--should look to duplicate.
