I know in this billand I have not read every page of all of this--my belief is veterans are exempted. also. I say to the Senator from California. having worked on this issue for quite some time. I think you may have a legitimate point with respect to a refugee who is 90 years old who is in this country and has been here for a long time as to whether we want to knock them off this system. I suggest to the Senator that. while I will not be a conferee. I would be sympathetic and would communicate my sympathy with respect to some very difficult. isolated cases for the very old or the severely disabled who may be on these programs today.
