BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. GOODLANDER. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of this bipartisan package of amendments, which includes an amendment I am proud to be leading alongside my colleague from New Hampshire, Congressman Pappas.

This amendment does an important thing for New Hampshire's veterans. We are home to more than 80,000 veterans in the Granite State.

We are the only State in the 48 continental States that doesn't have a full-service VA medical center. This gap has got to be addressed, and this amendment takes important steps to that end, to make sure that every veteran who has put their lives on the line for our country gets the healthcare they need, when they need it, and where they need it.

Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan amendment.
