Members Support Funding for Troops, Veterans

Statement

Today Congressmen Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) voted for H.R.2638, The Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act of 2009. The bill provides a critical increase in funding for our nation's troops, veterans, and first responders, among other important issues.

"This legislation addresses many of the concerns the American people face today, and it provides for the needs of our brave men and women in uniform, our veterans and our first responders, as well as our children and our families. It also sets aside funding for the people of Haiti who have been recently devastated by several hurricanes."
