Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., today praised passage of several pieces of legislation designed to help veterans and increase accountability at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

"It is critically important that we provide high-quality, timely care for those who have sacrificed so much in service to our country," said Foxx. "This week Congress continued its efforts to meet our responsibility to America's veterans, but we cannot transform the VA alone. It is the president's responsibility to ensure changes are made within the agency and employees are held accountable for their actions. America's veterans deserve a meaningful, decisive plan from the Obama administration to right the many wrongs that have been committed."
