On the recordMarch 23, 1999
I hope in the future that the gentleman from California (Mr. Filner) will take the time to sit in the Cabinet office and explain to Mr. Togo West, who is the Secretary of Veterans, how important it is to provide a budget that is properly funded. So I compliment the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Stump) for taking the initiative in the face of many people in this House who think that our veterans are a declining population and they do not need additional services. But I rise, Mr. Speaker, in strong support of H.R. 70, and commend our chairman for his leadership in tackling this question surrounding burial at the Arlington National Cemetery.
