Mike Bost: “Our Blue Water Navy veterans deserve to qualify for the same benefits as their fellow veterans who served on the ground.”

I have no further speakers, I am ready to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I take Secretary Collins at his word when he says there is no impact to the delivery of care, benefits, and services for veterans with this plan.

Someday, I would like to carry on this floor from our committee a bill that is actually sponsored by a Republican that my colleague can actually find totally good. We come out here every time, and he finds all the excuses of why this is…

May I inquire of the Chair as to how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Miller-Meeks). The gentleman from Illinois has 4\1/2\ minutes remaining.
