I thank the Congresswoman from Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the words that were shared with us from the gentlelady from Tennessee, from one of her constituents. And we hear firsthand the agonizing feelings of her constituents as…

I believe that this program has the ability to greatly improve the lives of veterans, but more work needs to be done to assure efficiency, improve performance, and to assure transparency through oversight.
While I am encouraged that the recent GAO found that 89% of the veterans in their study eventually completed their independent living plans, they also found that there is a need for increased oversight over this program.
I don't fault VA Central Office staff for many of these problems. I believe many of these issues stem from the lack of attention and resources that are provided to the VR&E service by the Veterans Benefit Administration (VBA).
They can't continue to drop the ball and lose sight of the fact that other important programs that serve our veterans need assistance as well.
If we can do this for our athletes at nearly every school, we should be able to do it for our veterans.
There ought to be some allocation, in my opinion, for veterans, especially when you are looking at military installations.
