In fact, that bill was passed in this very House just last week; that where a veteran has a long distance to drive to go to a VA facility, when he needs medical treatment, we are going to have a pilot program now that we are going to look at that hopefully will be converted into a permanent program whereby those veterans will not have to drive that long distance to a facility. They will receive a voucher and they will be able to take that voucher to a physician or to a doctor close to their home and get medical treatment and have the Federal Government pay for it under the Veterans Administration. That is a significant improvement in the delivery of health care that we are going to be able to provide to veterans.
