Mike Bost: “The mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs is to care for those who shall have borne the battle.”

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.

No veteran is going to have their benefits reduced.

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.
