Thanks very much, Mr. Chairman. Before I ask the question from Ms. Pape, I want to thank you and the many employees at the VA for your efforts to care for our veterans and to serve our veterans as well all across the country.
A remarkable progress has been made by the VA to meet this challenge, but there is much more that still has to be done.
President Obama and Secretary of Labor Perez are committed to ensuring that the brave warriors who serve this country have the employment support, assistance and opportunities they need and deserve.
I really appreciate that, your openness, your willingness to listen to me as a minority member and as a ranking member and move forward in that regard.
