On the recordNovember 6, 2007
However, the Democrat leadership has failed to get this bill to the President's desk despite tremendous bipartisan support. It is sad that they are choosing to abuse their leadership position by playing politics with the needs of our veterans and our servicemen and women. This bill, were it to stand alone, would enjoy overwhelming bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate. Yet, the Democrat leaders have failed, to this day, to appoint conferees to a conference on this bill. Instead, they joined it to a bloated Labor bill. These are the kinds of political games that disgust the American people.
