I Am Confident That In The End

In Mid-may, The House Of Representatives Approved The Full Amount Of Money That The Veterans Administration Said Was Needed For Next Year - Plus An Additional $1 Billion Increase For Veterans' Health Care.

The Need For This Clinic Is Clear To Me, To The Veterans Who Are Currently Forced To Travel Hours To Receive Care, And Even To The Veterans Administration That Itself Identified Creation Of A Clinic In This Part Of Our State As A Priority To Be Completed By 2006.

The Road Ahead Is Not Easy. Iraq Is Currently The Center Of The War On Terror.

We Will Never Forget And We Will Not Relent Until Our Job Is Done.

Leaving Iraq Without Military Assistance During Its Transition, And Before It Is Stable Enough To Ensure Its Own Citizens' Security, Would Pose A Tremendous Risk. We Must Complete Our Mission.
