REPUBLICAN PRESS RELEASE
Friday January 12, 2007
Ranking Member Buyer statement on reinstatement of joint hearings
Washington, D.C. — Responding to a decision by Democratic House leaders
to reinstate joint hearings of veterans’ and military service groups,
which have historically been timed to coincide with the annual
Washington conventions of these groups in spring, Veterans’ Committee
Ranking Member Steve Buyer (R-Ind.) issued the following statement:
“Democrats are relegating veterans to the back bench by receiving their
input on the budget and legislative issues after the budget is put
together – how disappointing,” House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
Ranking Member Steve Buyer said. “Veterans’ groups do not belong on the
back bench. They must engage Congress with timely substance in order to
best advocate the interests of their veterans.”
