Defense Writers Group
Moderator: Good morning everyone, and welcome to this Defense Writers Group with Denis McDonough, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. We have a bit of a smaller group than usual because of the holidays, but that means more questions for everybody.
As always we’ll be on the record, but there is no rebroadcast of audio or video. I’ll ask the first questions, then a couple of you emailed me in advance to ask, but we’ll go around the table, and then we’ll give the Secretary a few minutes at the end for some closing comments.
Mr. Secretary, thanks for being here.
Secretary McDonough: It’s nice to see you, Thom. It’s really nice to catch up. It’s been too long.
