I am going to blow the whistle on you. I believe that it is a matter of principle that the Nation should not be taking money from one group of deserving veterans to fund benefits for others. However. you should also know that last month the Senate approved a bill that would cut $912 million in pension benefits for wartime elderly indigent severely disabled or housebound American veterans. A portion of the funding saved by this unprecedented cut in veterans benefits would be used to fund oversized pensions for noncitizen. nonresident World War II Filipino veterans and for other veterans programs. Mr. Speaker.
