Dear Ms. McKown:

Thank you for your letter of July 3, 2001 regarding H.R. 2182, the "DVA Employee Retirement Equity Act". I am an original cosponsor of this legislation and do plan to work toward its goal of ensuring that nurses are provided full-time credit toward retirement for their part-time VA work. As you may know, this provision is also a part of the Senate bill, S. 1188. I intend to work closely with my colleagues in the House and Senate to ensure that is given our full consideration.

I appreciate your interest in this matter.

Sincerely,

Lane Evans
