Well, the main thing there is, is that there's new energy in the investigation, right?

I was one of the lonely opposition votes to the Mulvaney bill in the last Congress.

I appreciate the VA's attention to this issue and understand that they support the intent of the bill, but that they feel that the goals of the legislation have been met with the availability of a statement of benefits.
