I want to thank you and Senator Barrasso for including the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Additions and Pratt and Middle Fork Snoqualmie Rivers Protection Act as part of your hearing today.
The Alpine Lakes Wilderness Additions and Pratt and Middle Fork Snoqualmie Rivers Protection Act will protect wildlife, promote clean water, enhance and protect recreational opportunities.
PVA fully supports S. 1237, the 'Homeless Women Veterans and Homeless Veterans with Children Act of 2009' and appreciates Senator Murray expanding this program.
The ACA wholeheartedly supports S. 1204, as introduced by Senator Patty Murray.
I look forward to hearing your comments on the legislation we are considering.
Senators Murray, Johnson, and Reed, in introducing this bill, recognize that the same difficulties faced by single female parents are experienced by single male parents.
I introduced the Homeless Women Veterans and Homeless Veterans with Children Act with Senator Jack Reed and Senator Tim Johnson.
And no veteran should have to fight to cut through bureaucratic red tape to receive the benefits they earned and deserve.
