Requires (under current law, authorizes) the Assistant Secretary for Veterans' Employment and Training to carry out a two-year demonstration project on the credentialing and licensing of veterans.

I am writing as your constituent in the 1st Congressional district of Texas. I oppose H.R.674 - To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the imposition of 3 percent withholding on certain payments made to vendors by government entities., and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability.
Sincerely,
Melody Couvillion
