Well, I want to thank you. I learned a lot, and I appreciate your candor.

I was overwhelmingly impressed with the specialty services available at Clairmont--particularly blindness, specialty services like that.

Well, let me ask you this question with regard to Uptown VA in Augusta and Eisenhower.

Thank you for that answer.

I know proximity is essential to what you all have done in Augusta, Ms. Wiley, but is it possible to adopt some of the seamless transition procedures they have done in Augusta in this new Hinesville facility with Charleston?

Well, it is a great credit to Augusta.

I wanted to let you know we have already looked out for you.

Commissioner Wheeler wants you to know that he values your friendship and that he appreciates the interest of your Committee regarding veterans having top-notch and accessible health care available throughout all of Georgia.

Well, let me thank all three of you for your testimony and for your service to our veterans.

One of the reasons that I asked to be on the Veterans Committee when I was elected to the Senate was because I wanted to do everything I could to see to it that the promises made to our veterans were delivered.

Will the Department normally, based on the study they run, make the request, or do you wait for the State through their Representatives or Senators to make the request for that consideration?
