IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 18, 1993
Mrs. VUCANOVICH submitted the following resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
previously authorized construction to improve medical fa-
cilities administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs
should not be delayed by the national health care reform
debate.
Whereas 27,000,000 veterans under the jurisdiction of the
Department of Veterans Affairs reside in the United
States and need quality health care;
Whereas medical facilities administered by the Department of
Veterans Affairs in the United States are limited and in-
clude only 171 medical centers, 128 nursing home care
units, and 276 outpatient clinics;
•HRES 315 IH
Whereas many of the facilities are currently maintained in
substandard condition;
Whereas doors to some patients’ rooms are not large enough
to permit evacuation of patients in their beds in the event
of fire or other emergency, some facilities lack sprinkler
systems or air conditioning, and some facilities contain
asbestos hazards;
Whereas the Secretary of Veterans Affairs has decided not to
begin construction on several projects that are intended
to improve medical facilities under the Secretary’s juris-
diction;
Whereas the projects have already been authorized by the
Congress;
Whereas the Secretary plans to continue this delay until the
Secretary determines the effects of the President’s health
care reform proposal on the Department of Veterans
Affairs; and
Whereas the debate on national health care reform is ex-
pected to be a lengthy and tedious process: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that construction on projects to build, ren-
ovate, or otherwise improve medical facilities that are ad-
ministered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should not
be delayed by the current national health care reform de-
bate if the projects have already been authorized by the
Congress.
