ALLARD COMMENTS ON THE RESIGNATION OF VA SEC. JAMES NICHOLSON

U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) commented today regarding the resignation of VA Sec. James Nicholson:

"I was surprised to hear about the resignation of my friend and fellow Coloradan, Secretary Jim Nicholson. Having assumed control of the VA at an extremely difficult time, he has been a tireless advocate for veterans, and his efforts have helped to bring the VA up to speed in order to meet the current needs of our veterans.

"I would especially like to commend Secretary Nicholson for the instrumental role he played in reinvigorating the construction of a new VA hospital in Aurora on the Fitzsimons campus. Without his support, this project would not have progressed to the point were it is today. I will certainly miss Secretary Nicholson, and I thank him for his exceptional service on behalf of our veterans."
