On the recordOctober 2, 2001
On behalf of the 2.7 million members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States and its Ladies Auxiliary, I want to express our strong support for amendment number 1690 to the National Defense Authorization Act, S. 1438, the ``American Service Members' Protection Act of 2001.'' We think this legislation brought forward by Senators Jesse Helms (R-NC) and Zell Miller (D-GA) is an appropriate response to the threat to American sovereignty and international freedom of action posed by the International Criminal Court.
