Write Your Congressperson!
House Appropriations Debate to Begin Soon.... Take Action!
Please Write Your Member of Congress The House Appropriations Subcommittee for VA, HUD, and Independent Agencies will be considering VA?s funding levels for fiscal year 2005 the week of July 19, 2004. At the end of that week, the full committee will consider the VA/HUD appropriations bill. With tight budget constraints, VA once again faces competing political priorities. HUD has already been promised an additional $1.7 billion for housing programs. The House Budget resolution contains an additional $1.2 billion for VA health care. Unfortunately, the Subcommittee only received an additional $800 million. That leaves a shortfall of $2.1 billion for VA and HUD programs, and this does not include the additional $1.3 billion we are asking Congress to include for VA programs to bring it to the $2.5 billion level recommended by the House Veterans' Affairs Committee in its Views and Estimates. Please contact your representative and urge him or her to honor our nation?s commitment to veterans by providing VA a vital increase in resources. ###
