Have been occurring on a regular basis since Early September so i would like to thank you and i appreciate the time that you have invested in openly communicating with the staff on the house and the senate side of the committee on the implementation issues in the progress that you have been making on this implementation issues. In the va i hope it is a precedent for improving relationships as we go forward. The law provided Additional Resources and authorities to provide for the key improvements for veterans. Timely access to health care, expansion of the internal capacity and the indication of the benefits. Today i hope you will hear tangible ways that benefits. The veterans are getting the outcomes intended. If there are roadblocks to the implementation you need to know what they are and how it can be fixed on those roadblocks. With regards to timely access to health care i am aware that the department has expressed serious concerns with the 90 day deadline on the Choice Program. The
