Speech #990114492

But when Senator GRAMM and I were discussing this last week. he said the following. and I will quote from the RECORD. The Senator said: I think it is an interesting commentary on the priorities of the House that they exempt all of these other programs and prior contracts but not veterans health care. They exempted migrant health centers which serve in many cases. as we by these centers know. illegal aliens. though certainly American citizens are served and they did not exempt veterans hospitals. Apparently. the House feels that migrant health centers are of a higher order of importance. These centers ought not to be part of dealing with the deficit. Veterans hospitals which serve those who have fought and bled and died for America. and their dependents. are less important than all these other programs.
