*Bob Filner’s Statement on Walter Reed Army Medical Center** It is high
time the Pentagon admits its mistake and takes action to improve outpatient care at Walter Reed. The removal of the three top
officials overseeing Walter Reed at the Pentagon is only the first step in
accepting responsibility for the treatment of our wounded soldiers. **Important News For Veterans** From the VA: POSSIBLE PHONE SCAM TARGETING VETERANS RETURNING FROM IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN The VA has announced that the FBI has recovered the laptop and the personal information of 26.5 million veterans that were stolen from a VA employees home on May 3, 2006. The FBI also reported that none of the veterans data was copied. While
this is good news, as the Democratic Leader of the House of
Representatives Veterans Affairs Committee, I have worked with my colleagues on
the Committee to pass a bill to prevent similar problems in the future and to
make whole all veterans who might suffer from id theft. For more information
about this issue, please
