In closing, Mr. Speaker, H.R. 570, as amended, is a solid piece of legislation that the veterans service organizations support, that the committee supports, and I would urge my colleagues to support this bill. With that, Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have heard the comment, the anecdotal comment, that you just mentioned, that they just keep them there until they can say, 'Well, we hired a veteran,' then they let them go.
VETS is committed to reducing veterans' unemployment nationally by helping each veteran through individual services.
Just because a case is filed doesn't mean that the HR manager violated the law. It could be that the veteran was not eligible in the first place.
I served on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee and I am often reminded of President Lincoln's promise, 'To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan.'
