Rep. McNerney Calls for Full Funding of French Camp VA Clinic

Press Release

Today, Congressman Jerry McNerney (CA-09) and Congressman Jeff Denham (CA-10) sent the following letter to the Senators and House Members responsible for negotiating and finalizing legislation to fund the government for the remainder of FY16, urging them to adopt the funding levels established in the Senate- passed amendment to H.R. 2029 for Department of Veterans Affairs major construction projects. Maintaining these funding levels would provide the funding needed to construct the French Camp Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC).

"I applaud my colleagues in the Senate for passing a bipartisan Military Construction-Veterans Affairs Appropriations bill that will provide funding for the French Camp Clinic. Veterans in the Central Valley have waited for this much-needed project to break ground for too long. I have been a strong advocate for this essential project from the beginning, and I will continue working on a bipartisan basis until the French Camp project is funded so that our veterans can receive the health care services they've earned and deserve," said Rep. McNerney.
