Johnny Isakson: “We need Federal leadership and reform.”

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…

Your service when working with you has been a privilege. You have done a phenomenal job as Chairman in the House.

Success now and in the future will require close collaboration between the VA and Congress, a focus on engagement as well as accountability.

To the Democratic leader and Bruce, who is on the floor, congratulations on behalf of all the Republicans in the room. Come down to Atlanta and watch the Braves play the Mets. We would be happy to have you anytime. Thank you for your time…
