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.
The VA is not meeting all the needs, otherwise the suicide rate would not be 20 a day and staying there.
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.
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.
