Expressing the sense of the House with respect to accountability for mismanagement at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

actions by VA officials represent a clear violation of the public’s trust for the Department to provide access to quality health care for our Nation’s veterans and warrant criminal investigation;

the ability of the Administration to objectively investigate its own wrongdoing warrants a Special Counsel to determine whether mismanagement and misconduct at the VA was criminal; and

the appointment of a Special Counsel would be in the public interest.
