                        URGING THE SENATE TO ACT

  (Ms. BROWNLEY of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Speaker, over 275 bipartisan bills 
are piled up on Mitch McConnell's desk because he refuses to bring them 
to the Senate floor for a vote.
  Three of those bills are my bills, each of which passed the House 
with over 400 votes from Democrats and Republicans alike.
  H.R. 95, the Homeless Veterans Families Act, will keep veterans and 
their families together and off the streets in safe and adequate 
housing.
  H.R. 840, the Veterans' Access to Child Care Act, will ensure 
veterans have access to childcare to attend critical medical 
appointments.
  And H.R. 3224, the Deborah Sampson Act, aims to address the 
inequities and barriers that women veterans face when accessing VA care 
and benefits.
  I urge Majority Leader McConnell to allow the Senate to vote so our 
veterans will have the support and care they have earned and deserve.
