Plain Language Summary

# HR 6456 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to remove the remains of Fernando V. Cota from Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in Texas. The bill's language suggests this action would address a specific concern about Cota's burial at this military cemetery, though the exact circumstances aren't detailed in the available information. **Who It Affects:** The bill directly involves Fernando V. Cota and potentially his family members.

It would also affect the Veterans Affairs Department and the management of Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery. As a highly specific measure affecting one individual, it has a narrow scope compared to most legislation. **Current Status:** HR 6456 is currently in committee as of the 119th Congress and has not yet advanced to a full vote. It was introduced by Representative Morgan Luttrell, a Republican from Texas. The bill would require congressional action to proceed further in the legislative process.
