     76th OREGON LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY--2011 Regular Session

                            Enrolled

                     Senate Joint Memorial 6

Printed pursuant to Senate Interim Rule 213.28 by order of the
  President of the Senate in conformance with presession filing
  rules, indicating neither advocacy nor opposition on the part
  of the President (at the request of Senate Interim Committee on
  Veterans' Affairs)

To the President of the United States and the Senate and the
  House of Representatives of the United States of America, in
  Congress assembled:
  We, your memorialists, the Seventy-sixth Legislative Assembly
of the State of Oregon, in legislative session assembled,
respectfully represent as follows:
  Whereas the United States Department of Veterans Affairs
Veterans Health Administration is charged with providing health
care, including mental health care, to all eligible veterans,
including women veterans; and
  Whereas 25,000 women veterans from all eras of service reside
in Oregon; and
  Whereas more than 240,000 women veterans have served in
Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom; and
  Whereas the Veterans Health Administration health care system
presents barriers to women's health care; and
  Whereas many Oregon women veterans live in rural and remote
parts of this state without reasonable access to Veterans Health
Administration health care; and
  Whereas no woman veteran should have to forgo the veteran's
earned medical benefits because of physical or emotional
barriers; now, therefore,

Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:

  (1) The Seventy-Sixth Legislative Assembly urges the Congress
of the United States of America to fund mobile health care buses
for women veterans, staffed with trained physical and mental
health professionals from the Veterans Health Administration,
that will travel throughout this state providing health care to
women veterans in their communities.
  (2) A copy of this memorial shall be sent to the President of
the United States, to the Senate Majority Leader, to the Speaker
of the House of Representatives and to each member of the Oregon
Congressional Delegation.
