On the recordOctober 3, 2000
H.R. 5139 provides for the conveyance of certain real property at the Carl Vinson Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Dublin, Georgia. Due to changes in the way health care is delivered, the VA has consolidated its health care in the central part of this large campus in Dublin. However, it continues to spend hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars each year to maintain vacant buildings and grounds on this campus. The State of Georgia has identified two uses for part of this campus. One part would be used to expand the Middle Georgia College, a State-run institution of higher learning. The other would be used by the State to expand mental health services to residents in the Dublin area. In addition to ridding itself of the annual maintenance costs, the VA would receive services for veterans and employees from these State-sponsored institutions. I urge my colleagues to support the passage of H.R. 5139.
