David Roe: “I have some more questions on that to see how many times that has happened.”

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.

I think we all here share an objective to deal with the crisis of veteran 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.

Every time a life is lost to suicide, it is a tragedy.
