Patty Murray actually said...

"This Congress, the country wants to be there for our veterans, but if we do not know what the need is accurately, we do not know what to provide."

"I want to start by thanking the Inspector General, Richard Griffin, and the Department's Office of Inspector General for all the work that has been done to conduct this review."

"Veterans also need to be assigned to a regular provider, they need care coordinated across the hospital and between specialists."

"I was really deeply disturbed to read your findings about how many cases of suicide and veterans with serious mental health problems were affected by delays in care and substandard care."
