I would like to thank you, Senator, and the Committee for having this hearing and look forward to working with you, if confirmed.
If you look at the chart comparing women veterans to female non-veterans, you can see in that chart that actually the female veterans' number is lower than the female non-veterans.
A remarkable progress has been made by the VA to meet this challenge, but there is much more that still has to be done.
