On the recordMarch 24, 2004

I think we not only should be proud of that, but I think we should work with the Senate in order to make sure that as we work through this process, that we work together with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to come to a common number. I would hope they would consider the number, because it is so much higher in the House, to be this $1.2 billion over what the President requested, that we work to get to the higher number rather than the lower Senate number.
