I have not seen the letter to which the senator refers, but undoubtedly the question of whether the care the government expects to be provided is provided will be addressed in the report that will come to me from the department. I want to stress that there is no excuse if something has gone wrong that should not have gone wrong. That will have to be answered for if it has happened. It is not my advice that that is the case at this point. I offer what I believe is some helpful advice to people interested in this—that is, find out the facts before you impugn a motive, a lack of faith or a lack of competence.
