"I believe, as you do, and as I said earlier, everybody has a role to play in supporting the veterans."

"Every decision that I am involved in, if confirmed as Secretary, will come back to the fundamental premise of whether the decision is increasing access and improving outcomes for veterans."

"Community Care will continue to be a fundamental way that the Department provides care to our veterans."

"If confirmed I would intend to play that role."
