Derrick Van Orden: “This legislation establishes a permanent partial claims…”

“Mr. Van Orton is recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today in strong support of my bill, HR 1815, the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act. This legislation establishes a permanent partial claims program within the VA Home Loan program, bringing VA in line with all of the other federal agencies that lend monies for homes. As a Chairman of the House Economic Opportunity Subcommittee, I'm responsible for the two most successful programs in the history of the United States government has ever administered, the GI Home Loan Program and the GI VA Home Loan Guarantee.” (00:12–00:24)
