"We applaud the work of the Senators Crapo, Tester, Cassidy and Sullivan on this in-depth, well thought out reform plan."

"supplemental requests for appropriations should be used sparingly and for unforeseen demand or natural occurrences"

"the normal budget process for the VA should be grounded in sound actuarial analysis based on accurate demand forecasting"
