"New Jersey political leaders have intensified efforts to revamp treatment resources within the Veterans Administration.

"Members of both the House and Senate have now proposed legislation in hopes of reducing the rate of suicide among returning veterans. Two new initiatives, spearheaded by Sen. Frank Lautenberg and Rep. Rush Holt (N.J.-12th District), would improve mental health support services for all veterans, as well as allocate funds for suicide prevention outreach."
