H.R.1357 recognizes the non-traditional student by expanding the Vow to Hire Heroes Act of 2011.

The VFW is proud to support Representative Bill Johnson's bill, which would allow certain VRAP participants to utilize their benefits for programs less than full time.

I respectfully request your support of this bill.

The VFW is proud to support Representative Johnson's efforts to allow certain VRAP's participants to utilize their benefits for programs technically designated as less than full-time.

Thank you, Chairman Flores, Ranking Member Kirkpatrick, and Members of the Subcommittee. I appreciate the opportunity to testify before you on H.R. 1357, legislation I introduced to amend the definition of full-time for technical training…

I commend the Department for conducting a 2-year, $350 million cost-shared RD&D program to demonstrate reliability of the U.S. centrifuge project at the Piketon facility.

I appreciate the opportunity to testify before you on H.R. 894, important legislation I introduced to reform the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) Fiduciary Program.

H.R. 894 (Rep. Bill Johnson, R-OH) would revise the laws governing the appointment, supervision, removal and re-appointment of fiduciaries.

This is important legislation I introduced to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs' fiduciary program.
