Elizabeth Esty: “Honorable Elizabeth Esty, Ranking Member”

I hope we can take the lessons that are being learned there and make sure that those are used every time with forward-going programs.

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

I am happy to welcome everyone here today as we enter the home stretch on the implementation of the Appeals Modernization Act.

If they cannot see--the VSOs who are on the front line are unable to see the legacy claims, then we are not really getting the benefit--the promised benefits of this IT innovation.
