I think certainly my constituents, but I think constituents across this country were so shocked and concerned to read today about this issue that your Department had only spent 1 percent of the $6 million for suicide prevention.

I appreciate your personal commitment. I have literally heard that five times, and veterans are dying every single day.

What are you going to do about getting the right people in the right place?

I very much appreciate the progress that is being made by the VA on the opioid epidemic.

I also want to thank Mr. Coffman for that line of questioning and for his bill that I have signed onto with Mr. O'Rourke on VA over-prescribing practices as they are related to suicide.

I thank the Congresswoman for yielding and for hosting this Special Order on this important issue. Every single day, we ask the men and women who serve our Nation in uniform to make incredible sacrifices on behalf of our Nation, and they…

It is very important that this Congress and the VA continue to ensure that all of our veterans, including those with visual impairments, have full access.

I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to testify today about my bill, H.R. 6418, the VA Website Accessibility Act of 2018.

Do you agree that, for example, in Manchester, New Hampshire, surgeries had to be stopped because there was--the quote that I read--rust or blood on the surgical instruments?
