Vietnam Veterans of America, July 28, 2022
The Honoring Our PACT Act was rejected by the Senate by a 55-42 vote.
S. 3373, The Honoring Our PACT Act, unexpectedly failed to pass on the Senate floor by a 55-42 vote yesterday ( U.S. Senate: U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 117th Congress - 2nd Session) 60 votes were needed, to avoid another delay in the bill becoming law. The bipartisan bill was voted unanimously out of the Senate with an 88-14 vote in early June, and by a 342-88 vote in the House. However, this was not the case as Senators who had previously voted against and for the bill objected to how the money connected to the measure (about $300 billion over 10 years) would be accounted for in the regular appropriations process.
VVA will continue working with members of Congress, VSO and MOS to ensure that the Honoring Our PACT Act becomes law in the 117th Congress and we thank Chairman Takano, Chairman Tester and members of both parties who supported passage of this bi-partisian legislation.
