I hope that in the midst of the Intellectual exchanges on GrammRudman. some common sense is restored to preserve our veterans benefits. It would be remiss on the part of our membership and constituencies If we do not recognize that all veterans are not nec. essarily American citizens. although they all fought under the same flag. I am refer. ring to the 1.600 Filipino veterans of World War 11 in California who were promised naturalization and saw that promise later denied due to political concerns. It saddens me that responsible Members have not seen fit to move a measure 1 intro. duced to fulfill the reneged promise. I hope that on a Veterans Day in the near future. these veterans are properly honored as citi. zens.
