Are you asking specifically that supervisors and managers and CIOs and these kind of people that have been in charge, where the buck stops with this information, that they be disciplined, if not terminated?

I will tell you, when I was in the Indiana House, we did hold companies responsible for these massive breaches of identify theft.

It is absolutely baffling to me that in addition to some of the other things that we have heard in this report, that the buck stops with the CIO, and we have had nothing but turnover.

So there has to be some kind of accountability still, and disciplinary actions, and the buck stops someplace with this staff, correct?

Do you personally feel responsible for the fact that we have a Nation of veterans that are vulnerable?

Our veterans are comprised of an exceptional group of men and women, including their families, who should not live in fear of their private information getting into the wrong hands.

I'm thinking, you know, if this happened in the private sector, automatically this would have triggered--just the suspicion and the not knowing would have triggered an automatic credit freeze to the people that would be living in my…

My colleagues on the other side of the aisle can try as much as they would like today to distract the people from the real issue at hand. But the fact remains today that ObamaCare was bad policy when it was enacted, and it's getting worse…

Thank you to my good friend and my colleague from Indiana, Representative Messer, for organizing this Special Order tonight. It has been, Representative Messer, over 3 years since ObamaCare was signed into law. In a recent Senate Finance…

According to the Department of Defense, in 2011, there were an estimated 19,000 victims of sexual violence in the military; however, only 2,700 servicemembers actually filed a sexual assault report. These numbers are daunting and…

The delays and significant cost increases for other VA medical center projects are disturbing.

I look forward to hearing from today's witnesses regarding VA's construction policy and how we can move forward to effectively and efficiently build medical facilities for our veterans.

There is an obvious greater need for state-of-the-art facilities that can address the unique needs of all veterans.

On rollcall #125 on H.R. 1765, I am not recorded because of the death of a close personal friend. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.'' Mr. Speaker, on rollcall #126 on the Dent amendment to H.R. 527, I am not recorded because of…

Every single unit that touches these devices adds to the tax and what I have seen from our brave servicemen and women that I just came from in Afghanistan is they deserve the best of everything we can possibly give them, including these…

I find it interesting because the medical device tax is a huge issue in my district.

They are young men and women and they are already concerned about their VA benefits.

I just returned from Afghanistan yesterday and I want to tell you that my respect and admiration for our brave men and women and what our military does is second to none.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148, PPACA) is a law shrouded in uncertainty.

The Department of Veterans Affairs must be prepared to handle these changes.

the federal government is not a family.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has greatly improved the services it provides, but there is still much more work to be done.

I actually brought this concern to the attention of the President, but his response to me was just to say, 'Well, the federal government is not a family.'

I line up with our veterans' groups and our seniors in opposing this proposal.

It is unfortunate that this budget request is more than two months late.
