“That would be helpful, and I appreciate the information on that. On the Military Quality of Life bill, I think we have had that the second longest, the Homeland bill, and then the Military Quality of Life has been here about a month, and that bill has contained substantial increases for veterans and for military personnel and their families for a long time. This year I think those increases amount to $18.5 million a day, and I just advance the thought that the sooner we can get that bill finalized, a bill that all Republicans in the House voted for, a bill that all Democrats in the House voted for, they can begin to benefit from those new changes and new benefits. All four of the bills are important, but that bill, I think, particularly is a bill that has an easy path to a moment when veterans and people currently in the military would benefit from the changes in that bill. So whether it is Homeland or Military Quality of Life or the other two bills sent over, I would be eager to see us move forward on those, but particularly on the Military Quality of Life bill.”
