On the recordJune 26, 2006
I would also like the Members to note that last year when we came to the floor, we thought that the COLA was going to be about 2.7 percent. Once they did the adjustment on the CPI, it ended up being about 4.1 percent. I don't know what it is going to be this year. That was a huge change. Even though we are saying approximately 2.2, I don't know what it is going to be. I would like to thank Lane Evans and Bob Filner for their work. I would also like to thank Mr. Miller and Ms. Berkley. I would like to thank Mr. Udall and Ms. Brown. Also, I thank them in appreciation for the timely fashion in which they moved this bill through the committee and now onto the floor. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2006.
