Madam Speaker, again I thank the chairman of the full committee, the chairmen of the subcommittees, Ranking Member Filner, and the subcommittee ranking members. We put together four good bipartisan pieces of legislation to serve our veterans to make sure we strengthened the things that they have so rightfully earned, making the commitment of this Nation stronger to them. It's absolutely appropriate we do that as we move towards Memorial Day. And again, as I said when we began, Mr. Chairman, I think certainly one place where it's Memorial Day every year is in the committee, making sure we're fighting for those veterans, their families, getting it right. And I very much appreciate the sense of bipartisanship as we get that done. Madam Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I yield back the balance of my time. General Leave
