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 [Inspector General for the VA] 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? Is it a lack of will? An excellent question.
