“But I recently received a letter from Joseph C. Burke, interim chancellor of the State University of New York, outlining his concern about the possibility of losing many millions of dollars in Federal funding and also the loss of many jobs.

They have a history of allowing military recruiters on all of the campuses of the State University of New York. The only reason that is not happening now is because they are under a court order as a result of a lost lawsuit which prevents them now from having military recruiters on campus. So I would like to have some assurance from the gentleman that if his amendment were successful that it would not stop the flow of funds to the State University of New York and its various campuses and universities across the country which are similarly situated.”
