NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE SERVICE


1. Congress on Recess: Congress is on recess for the month of August and will return to Washington on Sept. 9 to finish up funding bills and other legislation that remain unresolved.  Bills that await final action include VA Funding (passed out of the House only), Defense initiatives, and several veteran-related bills that expand healthcare and benefits for veterans and their families. Now is the time to visit your legislators in their district offices to discuss issues important to the VFW.  It is an election year for the entire House and one-third of the Senate, so they should be willing to talk with you about what is important for America's veterans, servicemembers and families.
