DAVIS, PH.D., SUICIDE PREVENTION COORDINATOR AND STAFF PSYCHOLOGIST, VA EASTERN KANSAS HEALTH CARE SYSTEM OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JERRY MORAN Senator MORAN. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to my col- leagues. And I think there will be more coming. As usual, we have more than one hearing occurring at the same time. And we're de- lighted to have our panelists join us. And we look forward to your testimony and our opportunity to ask you questions. This is our second subcommittee hearing in 2017. We were most recently at the Arlington National Cemetery, in which we looked at issues related to that aspect of this subcommittee's jurisdiction. But we take our responsibility very seriously when it comes to ap- propriations in involving the VA. And unfortunately we have a very serious and challenging difficult topic of conversation today. And I do think it's appropriate that this subcommittee's first hearing here in this building dealing with the Department of Veterans Affairs is related to something that has to be a priority for each and every one of us. The latest data suggests that 20 veterans a day take their own lives, and there is no one who would disagree that that number should be zero.
