David Roe: “We have built a wall between the VA and this committee, and it is a steep wall.”

I think one of the most distressing statistics I heard during our roundtable in Tennessee was that the second-leading cause of death between the ages of 10 and 34 is suicide.

Today is a significant day in America, it is April 15th, and a lot of hardworking taxpayers are sending checks off today.

I want to congratulate this entire committee. Every one of you finished in exactly 5 minutes, so congratulations.

I want to thank the Chairman for bringing this bill forward, and hopefully we can get this thing done and out of here by Christmas.
