“I look forward to reopening the government. The shutdown has gone on long enough, and it is time to end it. Yesterday was Veterans Day. It is a timely reminder of the commitment our Armed Forces personnel have made and the responsibility we have to take care of those who serve our Nation. The military construction and veterans affairs component of the legislation meets that goal. The legislation includes $133.3 billion for the Department of Veterans Affairs, including $113.8 billion in discretionary funding for VA medical care.”
