Political Quotes

On the recordMay 21, 2019
I thank the gentleman for his courtesies. Madam Speaker, I rise to support this bill, H.R. 2045, because, as I have said, whether it is a homeless vet, whether it is a vet who has been a veteran for a long period of time or those in the recent conflicts or those coming home today, this is a package that they need. This is what Members of Congress try to help them with, in their offices. If we knew that we had an office in the Veterans Affairs Department that deals with education, vocational rehabilitation, and small business, and it is a one-stop shop, I think that our veterans will appreciate that very much. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I ask my colleagues to support H.R. 2045.
