In a joint letter, leaders of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Senators Larry Craig and Daniel Akaka expressed their disappointment that a package of legislation, which includes a wide array of veterans' benefits and health care provisions, has been held up because House Committee leaders insisted on the inclusion of a controversial provision - authorization for a new facility in South Carolina - exactly as passed by the House. The Senators are concerned that committing to the South Carolina project without any discussion or compromise could set a precedent of the federal government spending its limited construction funds for projects other than those directly serving veterans.
