What the document says

“The local community, including veterans, believe that this facility deserves to be named in honor of Second Lieutenant Leonard G. ``Bud'' Lomell, a long time Toms River and Ocean County resident, who served courageously and heroically during World War II.”

To name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Toms River, New Jersey, the Leonard G. 'Bud' Lomell, VA Clinic, and for other purposes, Sec. 1

The second of the section's fifteen findings. Congress records a belief it attributes to the local community, including veterans, that the clinic deserves to carry Lomell's name, and identifies him as a Second Lieutenant, a long time resident of Toms River and Ocean County, and a World War II veteran. The finding before it places the facility at 1055 Hooper Avenue in the Township of Toms River, Ocean County, New Jersey, in the Fourth Congressional District, and says it recently opened. Neither finding names the clinic: the designation is made by section 2.

What the document actually says

“The local community, including veterans, believe that this facility deserves to be named in honor of Second Lieutenant Leonard G. ``Bud'' Lomell, a long time Toms River and Ocean County resident, who served courageously and heroically during World War II.”

To name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Toms River, New Jersey, the Leonard G. 'Bud' Lomell, VA Clinic, and for other purposes, Sec. 1
That sentence, in plain words

People who live near the clinic want it named for a man called Bud Lomell. Veterans there want that too. He lived in the area. He fought in World War II.

What this is about

This is a reason, not a rule. It does not give the clinic a name. Part 2 of the law does that. Congress is saying why it acted.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
