WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (Kan.) – chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs – spoke on the Senate floor today to object to a resolution that would condemn recent workforce changes at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that are intended to root out waste and refocus VA’s resources on providing health care and benefits.

“This resolution seeks to divide Congress and the administration and makes it more difficult for us to find consensus,” said Sen. Moran. “We should work together to determine what is the right kind of workforce at VA that enables the department to better care for veterans. Approving this resolution drives a wedge between this body and the executive branch, and I don’t see how that helps veterans.”
