I just want to highlight a few of the provisions in the bill. The bill provides an extra $128 million to help the Veterans Benefits Administration to expedite claims processing. The veterans of America do not deserve to suffer the lengthy waits they do now to receive the benefits that they deserve. The extra funding is an important step forward in cutting these wait times. I would also like to thank the chairman, the ranking member, and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Oxley) for working with me to improve a pilot housing program in my district. This has amplification potential with districts around the country. The program is providing a viable and cost-effective housing alternative for the aging population, and I am pleased that it will continue.
