It is time, Mr. Speaker, to move into the 21st century on this. The VA has been a male institution. We cannot keep waiting for change. It has to come. Women are performing an incredible, incredible role in the conflicts that we have ongoing. We should not say ``thank you'' by an unwelcome response to their coming to a VA facility. It's time that we had a Bill of Rights for women veterans.
The speaker is advocating for a Bill of Rights for women veterans and addressing the need for change in the VA.
