 | | VVA will be working closely with members of Congress to seek legislative action that will result in universal testing for hepatitis C, adequate resources to treat hepatitis C, and proper compensation to those who likely contracted hepatitis C in military service to our nation. |
 | | Rodney Freylinghuysen (R-N.J.), a Vietnam veteran, will again introduce legislation to address the testing and treatment issues, and Rep.Vic Snyder (D-Ark.), who served as a Marine in Vietnam, will again introduce legislation that addresses the compensation issues. |
 | | Before the 106th Congress closed on December 15, 2000, it passed corrections to Public Law 106-50 that reiterate in no uncertain terms that Congress intends for 3 percent of all Federal contracts and subcontracts to go to disabled-veteran-owned businesses. |
