they deserve. this morning i think some of you also heard rick take a truly remarkable action in public remarks he took responsibility for the conduct of those facilities and apologized to his fellow veterans and to the american people. and a few minutes ago secretary shinseki offered me his own resignation. with considerable regret i accept it. mr. shinseki has served his country with honor for nearly 50 years. he did two tours of combat in vietnam. he's a veteran who left a part of himself on the battlefield. he rose to command the first cavalry division, served as army chief of staff, and has never been afraid to speak truth. as secretary of the v. a., he presided over record

investments in our veterans, enrolling 2 million new veterans in health care and delivering disability pay to vietnam veterans exposed to agent orange, making it ease year easier for veterans with post traumatic stress, mental health issues to get treatment. improving care for our women veterans. at the same time he helped reduce veteran homelessness and helped more than 1 million veterans serve as members of their families pursue their education under post 9/11 g. i. bill. so rick's commitment to our veterans is unquestioned. his service to our country is exemplary. i am grateful for his service as are many veterans across the country. he has worked hard to investigate and identify the problems on access to care. as he told me this morning, the v. a. needs new leadership to

address it. he does not want to be a distraction because his priority is to fix the problem and make sure our vets are getting the care they need. that was rick's judgment on behalf of his fellow veterans. and i agree. we don't have time for distractions. we need to fix the problem. for now, the leader that will help move us forward is sloan gibson who will take on the reigns as acting secretary. sloan became deputy secretary at the v. a. just three months ago, but he too has devoted his life to serving our country and our veterans. his grandfather fought on the front lines of world war i. his father was a tail gunner in world war ii. son graduated from west point -- sloan graduated from west points and served in the infantry and most recently he was president and ceo of the uso which does a remarkable job supporting our men and women at war, their families, our wounded warriors and families

of the fallen. sloan has 20 years of private sector and nonprofit experience that he brecks to bear on our -- brings to bear on our ongoing work and i'm grateful he's willing to take on this task. i met with sloan after i met with rick this morning, and made it clear that reforms should not wait. they need to precede immediately. i've also asked neighbors to stay at the v. a. to help sloan and the department through this transition and to complete his own review of the vha. in the meantime we're going to look diligently for a new permanent v. a. secretary and we hope to confirm that successor and fill that post as soon as possible. we're going to do right by our veterans across the board as long as it takes. we're not going to stop working to make sure that they get the care, the benefits the opportunities that they've earned and they deserve. i said we wouldn't tolerate misconduct, and we will not. i said that we have to do better and we will. there are too many veterans receiving care right now who

deserve all of our best efforts and an honest assessment if something is not working. this week i visited some of our men and women in uniform at different stages of their service. our newest army officers who graduated from west point, our troops currently serving in afghanistan, our veterans and our military families. >> you have been watching live president obama making the announcement many had potentially anticipated. the resignation of veterans affairs secretary eric shinseki. the secretary offered his resignation to the president this morning at a meeting, and the president says he accepted it with considerable regret, but there has been a growing chorus for the secretary's resignation from both parties. >> yes. >> and once you have called even within your own party that pretty much means that it's over. shinseki and the president both said the v. a. needs new

leadership and needs to -- it's not a time for distraction. their priority is to fix the problems at a lot of the v. a. facilities. there have been reports of falsified records covering up long wait times for veterans and that potentially may have led to some of them dying while waiting for medical care. >> the president pointed out. he said we will to right by the veterans and he also has an interim director in place. sloan gibson who will be the acting director until a permanent person is selected. >> eric shinseki is stepping grown that post. right now it's 8:23. and we're going to have more on this obviously on our website and throughout the day here on ktvu. right now we want to check in with sal castaneda. >> quickly let's go through some of these commutes where we have traffic that's still a little bit busy starting off with highway 24 as we get up to the caldecott tunnel, westbound you are going to see a drive time of 10 minutes as you drive through. i think we have that or whatever we go to. let's go to it now, and i'll
