The Appropriations Coinmittee dealing with Veterans Affairs just today announced that they had marked up their bill with a $6.7 billion increase in funding for the VA which. as I said. for this 1 year is the largest in history and is nearly $4 billion above what the President had requested. We are going to talk a little bit later about bipartisanship. and that is an issue of which there can be no disagreement. There are issues that we talk about. like immigration. like Iraq. like tax cuts. where there is a deep divide among us. There are serious policy differences among us. But every Member of this House can agree that there is no group that should stand ahead of our Nations veterans when it comes time to make Federal funding decisions.
