David Roe: “I want to start by thanking the VA.”

I want to give the VA a shout-out and there are some--obviously, we are going over some problems today that the VA had, but all in all I think the VA probably has the opportunity to be one of the best systems in the country.

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

It is embarrassing to me to go home and to look those folks in the eye who work as hard as they do and write the checks they do to see this big of a disaster, financial disaster.

This is highly inappropriate. I think--and you seem to be very proud of the fact that your office has been engaged in this sort of stuff, and this way of operating.
