Washington, D.C. – Today, Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Bob Filner, led the Committee’s organizational meeting for the 111th Congress. Committee rules, membership and the oversight plan for the 111th Congress were adopted.
Chairman Filner (D-CA) commented, “We have a remarkable opportunity as a Committee to make significant progress when it comes to improving services and benefits for our veterans. President Obama has laid out an ambitious agenda and the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee is committed to bringing results to our veterans and their families. I plan to tap the energy of our new Committee members and rely on the dedication of our Republican colleagues to work in an effective and bi-partisan way to find and implement solutions to the real problems that exist for our veterans. Today, the members of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs came together to pledge to fight for our veterans in the 111th Congress, just as our veterans fought for the rights and liberties that our Nation enjoys today.”
