WASHINGTON, March 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid today released the following statement on the resignation of Lt. General Kevin Kiley.

"I accept Lt. General Kiley's resignation as a necessary step to restore accountability, but the challenges facing our men and women in uniform go well beyond just the Army medical system to the full range of support and services this Administration should provide to all of our nation's veterans. As we enter the fifth year of war in Iraq, this Administration has still failed to develop

a plan to care for our troops from the battlefield to the VA and everywhere in between."
