It is a very critical and very important issue to my constituents back in Sarasota, Florida, because it was a horrible, horrible crime that was committed last November. What we are concerned with in this legislation is not so much the case of the murder of Sheila Bellush, but for the great concern we have for the future cases that happen in the future, and we would like to be able to answer that problem now. I would also like to thank Jamie Bellush, the widower of the murder victim in this case, for his determination and his desire to protect other families from living through this judicial nightmare. It is a sad reality of life that sometimes a tragedy must occur to point out a problem that urgently needs correcting. In this case, that tragedy was the murder of Sheila Bellush, a mother of 6 from Sarasota, Florida. On November 7 of last year, her 14-year-old daughter returned home to find her mother's body on the kitchen floor. Sheila Bellush had been shot in the face, her throat slashed, and her 2-year-old quadruplets were found crawling in her blood beside her body.

I can tell you this, after what I heard today I am less convinced that the appropriate leadership is in place at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
