My amendment is straightforward. It increases funding for the VA’s Medical and Prosthetic Research Program to $994 million.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Carson publicly advanced the specific $994 million funding target as an amendment to the FY2027 Military Construction-VA appropriations bill, but this was an appropriations attempt rather than enacted law.
