My concern is not so much with the Department of Veterans Affairs as it is with the Congress. Do we have to take action within the next year and 3 months in order to bring about the immediate appropriation of that fund, and if we do not, at the end of that year and 3 months, would it automatically be spent out, in effect, if no action is taken by the Congress?

There may be another approach taken, if the gentlewoman will yield further, that I have not mentioned but still a way in which these growers would not be discriminated against vis-a-vis other agricultural producers?
I have been reading the gentleman's amendment, and I think that I can come up with a number of phrases that would apparently be permitted but which, under his amendment, would be very questionable. Think of words like ``Think Joe Smith''…
Now, Mr. Chairman, if the gentleman will continue to yield, as I remember the gentleman's comments from that earlier debate, he was also talking about people who were taxpayers, as many legal residents are, who are not citizens.
Does this make them permanent in their status if they served and then leave the service, or do they lose their right to vote after they have left military service?
