"I would love to see us, perhaps by the end of this meeting, suggest some commonsense solutions that the VA could either adopt administratively or that we will work on as, literally, an act of Congress..."

"Thank you for helping to hold the hearing today and thank you all for testifying and for answering all our questions."

"I think if we are able to follow this very good recommendation, I think it has to be tied to some measure of outcomes."
