Increasing The Functionality of Post-9/11 GI Bill Claims Processing To Reduce Delays.

we are recommending the insertion of language into the bill that would tie volumes of crude helium purchased in an auction to corresponding pipeline delivery allocations.

we believe the transition process to a new sales system... should be a seamless and prompt progression

We must establish a helium pricing mechanism that sends a clear signal to private markets that alternative helium supplies are needed before we exhaust the BLM reserves.

I also want to publicly thank Mr. Takano for agreeing to become an original co-sponsor of legislation I have introduced.

The student veterans that are reaching out to our organization are the ones who are suffering extreme delays, that are being forced out of their homes.
