“As one of the first Native American women elected to Congress and the daughter of two veterans, I am proud that my bill with Representative Mike Gallagher, the Department of Veterans Affairs Tribal Advisory Committee Act, will be included in this package. All veterans deserve the best care that our country can give, but there are gaps in services for Native American veterans. The advisory committee established by this bill will ensure that we look at and remedy the specific barriers Native American veterans face so they will have access to the same care that other veterans have. For these reasons and many more, I am thankful for the inclusion of my bill today and look forward to seeing its implementation by President-elect Biden. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman from California (Mr. Takano) has expired.”
