Thank you, Mr. Chair. Again, I'll just echo and underscore our appreciation for you being here, sir. It's always great to meet a veteran who has such an esteemed career as you have had.
I'm going to reflect on your written presentation, if I might. There is one sentence in the second-to-last paragraph that says, “The Department all but ignored my advice that they are not doing enough to address the needs of homeless Veterans.”
Can you expand on that in terms of what your advice might have been?
