I do rise today in full support of H.R. 1720, as amended... This bill, as amended, provides a critical and important first step to providing veterans and the military communities that I serve in northwest Florida with state-of-the-art health care in a new, combined Navy-VA clinic in Pensacola. In VA's budget submission for the fiscal year 2004, the Pensacola facility is described as 'obsolete' and 'less than half the required space for the current and future workload.' This description does not paint the true picture of a crowded and totally inadequate facility. The time to move forward on a new, combined facility is now. Our bill sets the stage for that progress on behalf of veterans in my district.

in closing, I would just say H.R. 2874, as amended, would establish a number of meaningful improvements that would help VA to provide better care for our Nation's veterans. Once again, I support my colleagues to support this bill.
