David Roe: “Thank you, Dr. Draper, for being here. And let me just start out by saying that this should be something we are really…”

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.

I would like to encourage the SBA to allow lenders the discretion to offer loans to companies in Chapter 11.

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

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.
