“I am proud of what our Senate has done over the past several years to assist veterans. This is another matter that is now pending and has yet to be resolved. I see the distinguished Senator from Nevada, who has been in the forefront with colleagues on my side on the issue of concurrent receipts. Prior to that, I worked with my good friend from Michigan on TRICARE for Life. We are about to have a vote here sometime, perhaps tonight or tomorrow. The Senator from Louisiana and the Senator from Nevada and the Senator from Maine are trying to close that gap when a retiree's widow, in most instances, reaches the eligibility for Social Security. Oftentimes there is a very significant dropoff. So we have done a lot in this body.”
