I must say to the body that our colleague, the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Tiahrt) has played a very significant role in dealing with this problem, for there is money in the pipeline now pushing forward that research on the part of the Veterans Administration that is taking place as a direct result of his own work with our committee as well as the entire Congress.
