Thank you, Mr. Chair.
There's no question that Veterans Affairs has been going through a significant hiring process. One of the things that I hear regularly across the country about staff at Veterans Affairs is that there aren't enough veterans themselves working there. Of this significant uptake, whether it's part-time employees or full-time employees, how many veterans have you hired to work as case managers or to adjudicate these type of claims? Oftentimes those veterans feel that there's an empathetic ear on the other end of the line when it's somebody who's walked the walk and who has transitioned out of the military. I'm just wondering how many of those have been veterans.
