Chairman Moran Leads Hearing with VA, VSOs to Review Pending Veterans Legislation

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) - chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs - led a committee hearing today to discuss 24 pieces of veteran legislation with representatives from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Paralyzed Veterans of America, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States and the National Veterans Legal Services Program.

"The bills on the agenda today represent a number of bipartisan priorities that would build on the successes Congress has achieved in expanding access to care and benefits for veterans, survivors, and their families - a notion everyone on this committee echoes," said Sen. Moran. "I am grateful to all the sponsors of these bills for their work on these pieces of legislation and to VA for providing technical assistance on the legislation and to our veteran service organization partners for working with us to improve and advance these bills as well."

Sen. Moran introduced two of the 24 pieces of legislation that were discussed at the hearing - the Sharing Essential Resources for Veterans Everywhere (SERVE) Act and the Fisher House Availability Act.
