“I would also like to quickly add that Congressman Allred, a new member of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, is expecting his first child any day now, so it is very appropriate that we are debating a bill today that will help so many veterans who are parents of young children. I thank both Congresswoman Sherrill and Congressman Allred for offering this amendment, and if it is adopted, this committee will ensure VA conducts outreach and notifies veterans of their childcare benefits. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.”
