Washington Democratic U.S. Senator Patty Murray is calling for the resignation of Dr. Ira Katz, chief mental health official for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Murray says her stance regarding Dr. Katz is a response to e-mails from a lawsuit showing that the VA deliberately withheld crucial information on the rising number of veteran suicides. Murray, a senior member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, believes Katz acted irresponsibly and should leave the job. (AP)
