“I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: S. 1154 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Honoring Promises to Service-Disabled Veterans Act of 2011''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) Federal agencies have an obligation to comply with the Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-50; 113 Stat. 233), and the amendments made by that Act, which established a Government- wide goal that not less than 3 percent of the total value of all prime contracts and subcontracts be awarded to small business concerns owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans each fiscal year (referred to in this section as the ``Government-wide goal for service-disabled veterans''). (2) Progress in meeting the Government-wide goal for service-disabled veterans has been unacceptably slow. (3) Prime contractors doing business with the United States Government have an obligation to do their part to meet the Government-wide goal for service-disabled veterans.…”
