The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:00 a.m., in Room 410 of the Gold Room, Allegheny County Courthouse, 436 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Hon. Jeff Miller [Chairman of the Committee] presiding. Members present: Representatives Miller and Michaud. Also present: Representatives Doyle, Murphy, and Rothfus. OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN MILLER The CHAIRMAN. Good morning and welcome to today’s Full Com- mittee hearing entitled, ‘‘A Matter of Life and Death: Examining Preventable Deaths, Patient Safety Issues, and Bonuses for VA Ex- ecutives Who Oversaw Them.’’ Before we begin, I would like to ask unanimous consent that our colleagues from Pennsylvania, Mr. Doyle, Mr. Murphy, and Mr. Rothfus be allowed to sit at the dais and participate in today’s pro- ceedings. Without objection, so ordered. And I would also like to thank the good people of Allegheny County for hosting us today here. As most of you are aware, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration provides health care services for millions of American veterans, but recently a rash of preventable veteran deaths, suicides, and infectious disease outbreaks at sev- eral VHA facilities throughout the country has put this organiza- tion under intense scrutiny. Despite the fact that multiple VA Inspector General reports have linked a number of these incidents to widespread mismanagement at VHA facilities, the Department has consistently given executives who presided over these events glowing performance reviews and cash bonuses of up to $63,000. Many Americans have watched in disbelief as these events have unfolded on their television screens and in the pages of their local newspapers. For some, however, this tragic incident has hit much closer to home. So I would like to take a moment to recognize all the family members of those who have suffered preventable deaths at VA (1) VerDate Aug 31 2005 12:52 Jul 24, 2014 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 Y:\113THC~1\FC\FIRSTS~1\9-9-13\GPO\82893.TXT LEN VACREP180 with DISTILLER 2 medical centers, as well as any veterans who have endured VA pa- tient-safety incidents that are here in attendance today.
