Johnny Isakson: “We have a second to certify our growth in the VA by nominating James…”

On the recordSeptember 10, 2019

We have a second to certify our growth in the VA by nominating James Byrne and approving his appointment. We have all worked hard to see that the VA is responsive. We get good news in the papers, not bad news. We are helping our veterans get back to work. The VA is working. We have some problems, but we have a lot fewer than we used to have. A lot of that is because of James Byrne. He has been working already, and we need to make him permanent. Please help us to confirm James Byrne. I yield to the Senator from Montana, Mr. Tester.
