"I have been to every one of the clinics in the Northeast Kingdom, and you know what, they smile there too."

"We need to make sure that they have the peace of mind to know that if they need help, there will be a fully functioning and competent VA here to give them that help when they need it."

"We are calling on Secretary Shinseki to provide testing and notice to those additional patients so that they can be properly cared for."

"I believe that the VA has additional information that they need to provide to this community for us to be able to evaluate what happened here."
