Obama Pledge to VA

Obama pledges two-year budgets at VA 11/20/08. “First and foremost, the way our nation provides funding for VA health care must be reformed,” he said in an Oct. 28 letter to the president of the American Federation of Government Employees. “My administration will recommend passage of advance appropriation legislation for the FY 2010 appropriations cycle, instead of yearly continuing resolutions that lead to delays in hiring and facility construction,” Obama said.
