On the recordJuly 16, 1998
I am of the opinion that the VA can and should spend the $900,000 for the national veterans cemetery in Oklahoma. If for some reason, the Administration determines that the money is not available to be spent in FY 1998, or does not reach a decision regarding the final disposition of these funds by the time this bill goes to Conference I, as Chairman of this subcommittee will do everything I can to make sure that the $900,000 for the final planning and design stage of the new national veterans cemetery is included in the FY 99 Conference Report so that this important project can move forward in FY 1999.
