House Committee Chairman McCaul on Thompson MEPS Act

On Sunday, April 6, 2014, during an appearance on Fox News Sunday, U.S. Representative Michael McCaul (TX-10), the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, advocated for the Medical Evaluation Parity for Service Members (MEPS) Act during a discussion of the April 2, 2014, shooting at Fort Hood Army Base in Killeen, Texas. The MEPS Act, which was introduced by U.S. Representative Glenn 'GT' Thompson (PA-5) on March 27, 2014, would institute a mental health assessment for all incoming military recruits and has the support of a large number of military and mental health advocacy groups.
