Disabled
Vets Memorial
Thanks Tommy
From: McCrea, Susan <VA Intergovernmental Affairs
On July 10, 2000, the Senate amended and passed by voice vote S. 311, a bill
to authorize the construction of a memorial honoring disabled military
veterans (to be located on federal property in Washington, D.C.).
According to provisions in the bill, the Disabled Veterans LIFE Memorial
Foundation will be responsible for raising funds privately to build and
maintain the
memorial. (The House approved a similar bill, H.R. 1509, on May 3,
2000.)
S. 311 must now go to the House for consideration.
