On the recordMarch 26, 2015
this amendment helps to keep faith with our veterans and to make sure we leave no veteran behind by reflecting and responding to their voices and the message they have given us about the need for more and better health care relating to post-traumatic stress, treatment for military sexual trauma, and an improvement in the delivery of health care for them around the country. It also improves the job training and rehabilitation programs for our veterans and makes sure, among other provisions, there is greater accountability and more funds and support for the inspector general of the VA so we can avoid the kinds of gaps and egregious shortcomings we have seen in this past year and also improve the Choice Program this Congress passed. I urge my colleagues to join me in this bipartisan amendment. I thank Senator Moran and Senator Baldwin for their support and cosponsorship and urge that we keep faith with our Nation's heroes and leave no veteran behind. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.
