STATEMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE LANE EVANS (D-IL), RANKING DEMOCRATIC MEMBER OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON VETERANS AFFAIRS

 

Washington, D.C. – I want to congratulate law enforcement for their efforts to find the stolen VA laptop containing sensitive and personal information of nearly 26.5 million veterans and military personnel.  I, like all of my fellow veterans, hope that officials will determine that the data has not been compromised.  However, today’s announcement does not relieve the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from fixing its broken data security system and failed leadership, nor should it delay Congress from moving forward to pass legislation to protect the private information of veterans and all Americans.
