"This issue of the claims backlog, it is corrosive, it is wrong. It wears at the soul of this country."

"Our goal, and this is very, simple: uphold the promise we made to our veterans by ending the backlog and getting the benefits they earned."

"We, along with Senator Franken, have introduced bipartisan measures in both the House and Senate that will remove several hurdles to getting claims processed quickly."

"Congress needs to do more to bolster the VA's current efforts to modernize its operations."
