Press Releases

Congressman Morgan Griffith issued the following statement on H.R. 3967:

“I believe it is important that we support our veterans who were exposed to toxic substances released by burn pits, and I have backed bills that would do so. The bill that passed the House today, H.R. 3967, however, is not the solution to this problem because it contains too many extraneous provisions.

“The Senate has already passed a more targeted bill to help veterans exposed to toxic substances. If it or a bill taking a similar approach came before the House, it would likely have my support. Veterans have too much on the line to get this legislation wrong.”
