05/09/08
I will be spending the day in my Washington, DC office attending to Senate business.
 
Yesterday, I held a MilCon/VA Subcommittee hearing that discussed the Army and Air Force budgets for the upcoming year, as well as highlighted the deplorable conditions that were recently discovered at an Army barrack in Fort Bragg. As Chairman of the subcommittee, I called the hearing to ensure that our servicemembers get the resources they need as the budget process moves forward. For more information on the Military Construction/VA section of emergency supplemental bill, click here.
