You had to watch the show to know what it is. Mr. S. Rather than simply reiterate the remarks of my col-PACE leagues, let me state that I am just honored to be on this Com-mittee and looking forward to the challenges that it represents. The C. Thank you. HAIRMAN Mr. Walz OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. TIMOTHY J. WALZ Mr. W. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, Mr. Sec-ALZ retary, and all the gentlemen joining us today. I would like to give a special thank you to those of you who are from our VSOs who are sitting out here. For many years, I am a member of multiple organizations with you. I am a life member of some of those, and I spent a lot of years trying to make sure the people setting here heard what you had to say. So I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you being here. The only thing better is if you were sitting right alongside me. I am not quite sitting high enough on this thing to make that decision, but we appreciate you being here. Please know that this Committee is absolutely committed to solv-ing these problems in a nonpartisan - it does not need to be bipar-tisan - these are nonpartisan issues of taking care of our veterans. And I thank the Chairman profusely for giving me this oppor-tunity to do exactly that. The prepared statement of Congressman Walz appears on p. 68. HAIRMAN The C. Mr. Secretary, again, welcome. We hope you will introduce your staff at the table and then the floor is yours. STATEMENT OF HON. R. JAMES NICHOLSON, SECRETARY, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS; ACCOMPANIED BY MICHAEL J.
