Johnny Isakson: “I commend you on calling this very important hearing on a very important subject.”

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

I will follow up on the Senator's points. We need to do what we did last year when Republicans and Democrats stayed up here for 2 weeks while the government was shut down. We worked out an immigration agreement, and we got the DACA…

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…

You are a great chairman. You are a great friend. You are a great example to our country.
