This provision opens up great paying jobs to our veterans and aids in fulfilling necessary, necessary roles in the private sector. We need to get our servicemen transition from productive members of the military to productive members of civilian life and this legislation dovetails perfectly with Mr. Nunn's HR3722 because the 24 month window following separating from active duty service is when our men and women commit suicide and we will do anything as a body to prevent that. So I thank Ranking Member Takano and the Chairman for your support in this and I urge all of my colleagues to vote for it. With that, I yield back. (01:36–01:59)
