Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, the Transition Assistance Program, TAP, provides training to servicemembers regarding veteran benefits, job search skills, pre-separation counseling, resume writing, how to prepare for interviews, and other transition training. TAP is a great program; however, there is always room for improvement. For this reason, I am joining with Senator's Moran and Manchin to introduce their Servicemembers' Choice in Transition Act of 2013. This legislation enhances the content of TAP to enable those leaving military service to better utilize their GI Bill benefits as a way to transition to civilian employment. It also makes TAP more interactive and provides a better fit for each servicemembers' personal transition goals.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the RECORD.
