“recently the Supreme Court announced it would decide whether some law schools might curb military recruiters' access to their students. The issue in question is the Solomon amendment, a Federal law that requires universities to give military recruiters equal access or risk losing millions of dollars in Federal funding. These universities allow IBM, GE and other corporations access, but not the military. I commend the Supreme Court for taking up this case and urge them to reverse a lower court injunction against enforcement of the Solomon amendment. The Solomon amendment is necessary to protect the military against the antimilitary sentiment of some universities and colleges. Yet many of these universities receive millions and millions of hardworking American tax dollars in Federal funds. These universities will take taxpayers' money, but then will discriminate against the very people who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms. This is not right. I urge support for the Solomon amendment. ____________________”
