Washington DC<\/span><\/i><\/b> \u2013 La legislaci\u00f3n de los senadores Ron Wyden y Jeff Merkley que mejorar\u00eda la capacidad del Departamento de Asuntos de Veteranos (VA, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) de EE. UU. para servir a los veteranos de Estados Unidos ayer dio un paso importante para convertirse en ley.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Su proyecto de ley agilizar\u00eda el proceso de construcci\u00f3n y mantenimiento de rutina en las instalaciones de VA, incluidas las cl\u00ednicas, al aumentar el l\u00edmite de dichos proyectos de $10 millones a $20 millones. Actualmente, el Congreso debe aprobar individualmente los proyectos de construcci\u00f3n de VA que cuestan m\u00e1s de $10 millones, lo que puede resultar en demoras de meses o incluso a\u00f1os. El VA solicit\u00f3 el aumento como parte de su solicitud de presupuesto de 2018 para permitir que el departamento sirva mejor a los veteranos.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

El proyecto de ley fue aprobado por el Comit\u00e9 de Asuntos de Veteranos del Senado como parte de un paquete m\u00e1s grande de proyectos de ley bipartidistas, llamado Ley de Cuidado de Nuestros Veteranos de 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEliminar los obst\u00e1culos a los proyectos de construcci\u00f3n en VA es una medida de sentido com\u00fan para garantizar mejor que nuestros veteranos puedan obtener la atenci\u00f3n de alta calidad que merecen\u201d, dijo Wyden. \u201cEste proyecto de ley ahora est\u00e1 un paso m\u00e1s cerca de garantizar que nuestros veteranos no tengan que esperar a que el Congreso apruebe la construcci\u00f3n de rutina para tener acceso a las instalaciones actualizadas que necesitan\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

"La burocracia del Congreso nunca debe interponerse en el camino de los proyectos que son esenciales para que nuestros veteranos reciban la atenci\u00f3n que se merecen".<\/span><\/b> dijo Merkley. \u201cCon esta acci\u00f3n, ahora estamos un paso m\u00e1s cerca de garantizar que los veteranos de Oreg\u00f3n tengan acceso a instalaciones modernas y actualizadas de VA sin que esos proyectos se retrasen por aros burocr\u00e1ticos innecesarios\u201d.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

El a\u00f1o pasado, Portland VA solicit\u00f3 ofertas para expandir su sala de emergencias y recibi\u00f3 solo ofertas que exced\u00edan el l\u00edmite de $10 millones. El Congreso elev\u00f3 ese tope por \u00faltima vez en 2007, pero desde entonces, la inflaci\u00f3n y los costos de construcci\u00f3n han reducido la capacidad del VA para llevar a cabo la construcci\u00f3n y el mantenimiento de rutina sin autorizaci\u00f3n separada del Congreso. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

El proyecto de ley de Wyden-Merkley tambi\u00e9n aumentar\u00eda el tope para arrendamientos de instalaciones m\u00e9dicas menores de $1 millones a $1,5 millones, la cantidad utilizada por la Administraci\u00f3n de Servicios Generales para el arrendamiento de espacios en otros edificios gubernamentales.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Los senadores presentaron el proyecto de ley a principios de mes. Ahora pasa a la consideraci\u00f3n del pleno del Senado.<\/span><\/p>\n
