...help ensure we are meeting the infrastructure needs of the Department of Defense and providing the best care for our veterans," Fortenberry said. "this important legislation synchronizes claims between the departments of defense and veterans affairs, ensuring a seamless transition of care when our military men and women leave active service. i am also pleased that the measure continues funding for the ongoing construction of the new headquarters for the u s strategic command, an important force in protecting our nation from nuclear threats."

"Of all agencies, the IRS must be committed to fairness and impartiality," Fortenberry said. "it is unconscionable that the agency targeted citizens because of their political or religious beliefs. the reported actions seriously undermine the foundation of trust necessary between citizens and their government. this bill puts meaningful penalties in place when that trust is violated."

"Under current law, the top ten percent of farm payment recipients collect nearly 70 percent of all payments," said Representative Fortenberry. "the farm program integrity act seeks to level the playing field for farm families by establishing meaningful payment limitations on large farms and closing loopholes that currently benefit investors not actively engaged in farming. the savings from reforms established in the legislation would help ensure that the farm payments system is set on a more fiscally-sustainable path."
