For example. two veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. with identical serviceconnected disabilities. could be living sidebyside in a foreign country. one a U.S. citizen. one not. Under current law the U.S. citizen would be eligible for VA care. the nonU.S. citizen would not. This legislation would allow the VA to provide care to both veterans for their serviceconnected disabilities. Mr. President. the cost of this legislation would be minimal as there are only a few thousand serviceconnected noncitizen veterans residing outside the United States. I ask unanimous consent that the text of my bill be printed in the RECORD following my remarks.
