BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BACON. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act.

One percent of Americans answered the call to defend our Nation with: Send me. We owe them a debt of gratitude. Our veterans should receive healthcare and benefits they have earned without having to battle the VA.

The Dole act expands economic opportunities, broadens nontraditional educational programs, and does so much for our veterans. Today, 60 percent of our Nation is veterans. We owe them a debt of gratitude.
