Bishop Floor Statement on the Military Construction, VA Appropriations bill, FY13

May 31, 2012

"Working with Chairman Culberson and the members of the subcommittee, we have crafted a bill that will address the funding needs for military construction and family housing for our troops and their families as well as other quality of life construction projects.  In addition, it will provide funding for many important VA programs as well as agencies like the Veterans Court of Appeals and the American Battle Monuments Commission."

"The allocation for the FY 2013 Milcon/VA bill is flat. In my opinion the allocation is what we could have expected if the Republicans would have stuck to the bipartisan agreement that established $1.047 trillion as the Committee's allocation."

Bishop Statement on House Passage of Military Construction/VA Appropriations Bill

June 15, 2011

"The House of Representatives came together in a bi-partisan fashion today to provide our military with the tools it needs to defend our country. We have always provided the resources to care for our service members, their families and our veterans, and for the first time in several years, we were able to find real savings without compromising resources for benefits, care and services."
