Gillespie Montgomery said "I am concerned about he veterans' funding under the Kasich amendment. We have examined it very closely. It seems that the bottom line for veterans' health care for 1995 under the Kasich amendment is that health care will lose $475 million. The gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Kasich], on page 17 of the Republican substitute or of his amendment give us $110 million. That is great. That is for health care, for helping process claims. But back on page 24 under the 1994 investments that were put in our legislation for veterans' health care in 1994, he eliminates that, which is around $585 million. If you subtract the $110 million he gave us on page 17 from the $585 million he takes away on page 24, the veterans come up short $475 million. Am I right or wrong? I just need an answer." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
