Confirmation of Dr. James Peake as Secretary of Veterans Affairs

Dr. James Peake
President Bush Pleased By Confirmation of Dr. James Peake as Secretary of Veterans Affairs Lt. Gen. James B. Peake (Ret.), M.D Biography

I am pleased that the Senate unanimously confirmed Dr. James Peake to serve as Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Dr. Peake is a decorated veteran, highly-skilled physician, and proven leader who has devoted his career to serving America's men and women in uniform. His decades of expertise in combat medicine and health care management have provided him with a thorough understanding of the Department's responsibility to care for America's veterans.
One of his first tasks as Secretary will be to ensure that my Administration continues to swiftly implement the recommendations of the Dole-Shalala Commission on Wounded Warriors. I am confident that he will build upon our record of improving care, reducing bureaucracy, and ensuring that our veterans receive the benefits they deserve. # # #
