Ladies and Gentlemen,

Below is a brief summary of the hearing, focusing on S.745. Mark up of the legislation has been set for Wed Jun 29, 2011 at 10:00 AM. I urge everyone to continue contacting congress and to encourage others to do the same. Most offices on the hill recommend using the Senator's site to email them. For the Senate state by state listing goto: http://senate.gov/ They have a drop down in the top right corner. The Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs has a 'contact us' drop down in the top right as well, located at: http://veterans.senate.gov/ I thank you all for your ongoing support.
