The question I have for you, Mr. Horowitz, what is the problem in appointing permanent IG's in terms of the VA? It was well known, I think it was back in November 2013 that the permanent IG was going to retire as of December. That position has been vacant now for basically 14 months. What is the hang up in terms of identifying. Is it just a lack of available individuals? (01:22–01:30)
CLAIM
