              PARTNERSHIP FOR VETERANS HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. DERRICK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. DERRICK. Mr. Speaker, the Partnership for Veterans Health Care 
Reform speaks for millions of American veterans. Its members include: 
The American Legion; AMVETS [American Veterans of WWII, Korea, and 
Vietnam]; Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States; Disabled 
American Veterans; Jewish War Veterans of the USA; Blinded Veterans 
Association; Military Order of the Purple Heart of the U.S.A., Inc.; 
Non Commissioned Officers Association of the USA; Paralyzed Veterans of 
America, and Vietnam Veterans of America, Inc.
  Listen to what this partnership has to say about reform: The 
Guaranteed Health Insurance Act meets ``the needs of the brave men and 
women who sacrifice their health for our country.'' The partnership 
states that they ``will continue to inform Members of Congress and our 
membership that [the Guaranteed Health Insurance Act] contains our 
stated policy goals.''
  Support health care reform that is good enough for our veterans, and 
all Americans.
