BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 2494, which would direct the VA to create a new fourth administration. This new administration would oversee programs that support economic opportunity for our veterans.

During my time in Congress, I have seen repeated instances of mismanagement within the programs. I believe it is time for this new administration to be created so that more focus can be placed on economic opportunities for our veterans. This new focus is even more important today as we are trying to help veterans get back on the right economic track following the COVID-19 pandemic.

I want to thank Congressman Wenstrup for his dedication and hard work on this bill.

Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleagues. I urge them to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
