This vote was on an amendment by Richard Burr, R-N.C., that would have prohibited money from being transferred from the Veterans Affairs Department to the Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation Fund. An earlier amendment by Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, had added language to enable the transfer (see vote 174). Both amendments were offered to a bill that would provide supplemental appropriations in fiscal 2010, including extra money for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as money for veterans, areas affected by natural disasters, and and funding for some social policy initiatives, such as for teachers and firefighters. |
