I thank Senators Wellstone, Domenici, and Craig for working out an agreement on a veterans amendment which increases outlays for veterans' health care by $500 million over the Budget Committee's level in each year of the budget resolution and raises the funding to the level requested in the veterans' Independent Budget, a $1.9 billion, increase over fiscal year 2000. This level of funding is advocated by 40 veterans groups and medical societies. I urge all Senators to support this critically important amendment which ensures adequate funding for veterans over a 5-year period.
