"Republicans are making good-faith efforts to keep key parts of the government running, including important veterans programs. With the backlog of disability claims continuing to pile up and veterans being forced to wait longer and longer to receive their benefits, it is critical that the White House and Congress work together to support our veterans. President Clinton and Congress agreed to support veterans programs during the last government shutdown, and we should do the same today." - Speaker Boehner speaker.gov/general/speaker-boehner-praises-house-passage-veterans-bill
