David Roe: “I don't want to see that medical research take a step back.”

Do not imply, Mr. Secretary, I care any less about the veterans who are committing suicide. I have declared suicide prevention to be the No. 1 priority of this committee.

As long as I am in the Congress I will never vote to see the VA do a major project again.

We have to reach out and try to find those 14 who never get to the VA, never get the care.

The provision of grants that address social risk factors may substantially help prevent veteran suicide.
