"Shame on anyone, especially in the VA or on this Committee, who doesn't have that same sense of urgency."

"I would argue an admonishment is not even a real penalty, it is kind of like being grounded without having your allowance taken away."

"I appreciate VA's willingness to consider the ultimate objectives of today's legislation; improve efficiency, reduce waste, and provide better outcomes for veterans."

"The testimony provided today is an important contribution as we move forward with the legislation, particularly the two draft bills."
