To rename the Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, 
          as the ``Eddie Bernice Johnson VA Medical Center''.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson served the veteran 
        community diligently during her 16 years working as the Chief 
        Psychiatric Nurse of the Dallas VA Medical Center.
            (2) Throughout her 30 years in Congress, Eddie Bernice 
        Johnson introduced numerous bills that sought to honor and 
        serve the patriots who so nobly served their country.
            (3) Congresswoman Johnson introduced, and won passage of, 
        the Dr. James Allen Veteran Vision Equity Act of 2007 (Public 
        Law 110-157; 38 U.S.C. 101 note), which assists those wounded 
        in service in receiving the treatment they need, and increases 
        the dignity shown to those who gave their last full measure of 
        devotion to the country that they served.
            (4) Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson was a trailblazer 
        who worked tirelessly on behalf of American veterans and has 
        earned the respect and honor of her native city of Dallas, 
        State of Texas, the United States, and the Congress.
