“I wish to make a comment. The Senator from California is absolutely right. If there is a saint in this town, it is Mrs. Bill Young. She has been extremely helpful to all of the soldiers and sailors at Walter Reed and at Bethesda. Just today, she called me and told me that the admiral at Bethesda told her he is under orders to send bills for about $5,000 to several different military people who are in the hospital for reimbursement of their meals. I told my staff to notify the admiral that we had fixed it in this bill, or I would personally guarantee the payment, and not just have standard garnishing of these kids' salaries. I commend the Senator for the amendment. We attempted to fix that in one former bill. But that bill hasn't become law. I think the bill will become law very fast. I support the Senator's amendment and urge its adoption. Amendment No. 1843, As Modified”
