On the recordSeptember 9, 1999
the point is the geographic location, that the veterans are coming to the South more than the North. The funds have been distributed on that basis, as well as labor cost, research, and education; and we have set up a reserve fund. My question to my colleague, which he can answer on his own time, is why does he not go to the reserve fund and try to get his money for these individual problems rather than creating chaos by eliminating a system that a blue ribbon commission has looked at. This is a far-reaching analysis to come up with this redistribution of the funds for the veterans in the geographic locations that need them. The basic problem is, which we both agree, is that we need more funding for the veterans, and on that I can agree with my colleague.
