Walter B. Jones: “The fiscal year 1995 rescissions bill cuts approximately $206 million from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The money…”

On the recordMarch 15, 1995
The fiscal year 1995 rescissions bill cuts approximately $206 million from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The money will be taken from the Veterans Health Administration, which provides important services to our Nation's veterans. American veteran's have earned their health care through blood and sacrifice and deserve better. Mr. Speaker, our Nation's veterans should be honored for their heroic deeds, not punished. How can we expect the military to protect us when we don't honor the contract we made with our veterans? I support the Stump amendment which would restore the $206 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
