Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 5993, the Securing America's Veterans Insurance Needs and Goals, or SAVINGS, Act. This bill was sponsored by one of our esteemed colleagues, Representative Debbie Halvorson of Illinois, to ensure that beneficiaries of the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance, SGLI, receive financial counseling, greater disclosure information and other needed support concerning the proceeds of their SGLI life insurance benefits. Mrs. Halvorson acted very quickly in response to some of the publicity on this and to some of the pain felt by the survivors.
