The gentleman is recognized.
00:02
I thank the gentleman from Texas.
00:04
Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Fiscal Year 2026 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriation Bill.
00:12
It is fitting that the appropriations bill to come to the House floor this year is one that fulfills our highest priorities,
00:19
honoring our commitments to those who have served and are currently serving in the United States military.
00:24
This bill delivers on our promises by fully funding veterans' health care programs and fully funding veterans' benefits and VA programs.
00:32
This bill addresses critical infrastructure needs for our men and women in uniform.
00:38
To address deficiencies in the military barracks identified by GAO and others, the bill includes a $75 million increase.
00:46
There's also a $75 million increase for child development centers on military bases to improve the quality of life of many military families.
00:55
In closing, I want to thank my colleague, Judge Carter, for crafting a bill that keeps our promises to the veterans and to our troops.
01:03
I urge all my colleagues to support this important bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
