In late 2020, a Chinese submersible, the
Fendouzhe, descended over 30,000 feet to the bottom of the Marianas Trench, home to the deepest point in the earth’s oceans, known as Challenger Deep. Loaded with so much surveying equipment that the crew added additional buoyancy materials to keep it balanced, the
Fendouzhe set a national record for the depth of its dive and broadcast a live feed of its exploits back to China. While the expedition was billed as focusing on the animal life of the Trench, state media noted that the surveying experience would be useful for China’s growing interest in deep-sea mining.
H.R. 3730 became a reality through the razor-sharp leadership of Congressman Gregorio Kilili Camacho Sablan, the CNMI delegate and a member of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs.
H.R. 3730 is the best thing since sliced bread for our veterans and families. Itâs so exciting.
H.R. 3730 will improve VA outreach, health care and benefits for veterans from the U.S. outlying areas and Freely Associated States through the establishment of a VA Advisory Committee. The creation of the advisory committee will allow veterans living in remote areas of the world, who served in the same military as other Americans, a space to voice their concerns to the VA.
