With more missing data, Reid seeks VA chief's ouster

[cal04]

The U.S. Senate's top Democrat on Tuesday called on Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson to resign after the department disclosed that another batch of personal information on veterans was missing.

"Enough is enough," Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada said. "Less than a month after promising to make the VA the 'gold standard' in data security, Secretary Nicholson has again presided over loss of personal information of thousands of veterans."

The VA on Monday announced that a subcontractor reported personal information on up to 38,000 veterans was missing from the company's offices.

That comes on top of the theft in May of a VA laptop containing sensitive information on more than 26 million veterans and service members. That laptop was recovered in June and officials said they did not believe information was taken.
