I rise in support of H.R. 4231. It is a good bill that will give the Department of Veterans Affairs some new opportunities to meet the challenges of maintaining a strong nursing workforce during the severe nursing shortage projected for the near future. I have said many times that nurses are the lifeblood of our medical care system. VA should be looking at any and all feasible options for ensuring that it is able to satisfy the needs and expectations of these valuable employees. I want to commend the chairman and ranking member of our Health Subcommittee for their work on this bill and urge Members to support it.
