Mr. Speaker. I was shocked to learn that the Carter administration is now placing Cuban refugees in Veterans Administration hospitals. It is my underst.nding that White House officials last weekend asked the Veterans Administration officials if they could admit some of the Cuban refugees into VA facilities in the State of Florida. The Veterans Administration officials readily agreed and 13 Cuban refugees. all psychiatric patients. were promptly admitted to the Veterans Administration medical center in Tampa. Fla. This action was taken. Mr. Speaker. despite the shortage of VA hospital beds in Florida created by inadequate funding and the unprecedented influx of veterans into the State.
