Bill Sponsored by Rep. Ted W. Lieu Authorizing Vital Veteran Construction Passes House of Representatives as Part of Legislative Package

Statement

Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles), sponsor of H.R. 4334, the Fiscal Year 2016 Department of Veterans Affairs Seismic Safety and Construction Authorization Act, issued the following statement in response to the passage of H.R. 4590, the Fiscal Year 2016 Department Of Veterans Affairs Seismic Safety, Construction, And Leases Authorization Act, by the House of Representatives:

"I am pleased that the House of Representatives has passed the Department of Veterans Affairs Seismic Safety, Construction, and Leases Authorization Act, which incorporated my bill intended to serve Veterans in my district and throughout the country. One of my top priorities in Congress is to provide my fellow Veterans with the care and support they have earned and deserve. Today's bill authorizes dozens of major VA construction and medical facility projects, including more than $30 million to the West LA VA to rehabilitate three buildings that will be used to house homeless Veterans. With this project, we are taking yet another step to return the West LA VA to its intended purpose of serving our nation's Veterans. Thank you to Senators Feinstein and Boxer for their continued leadership on this issue."
