John Warner: “Dear Senator Warner: I just heard on the hourly news that Mr. Clinton will be proposing emergency legislation today…”

“Dear Senator Warner: I just heard on the hourly news that Mr. Clinton will be proposing emergency legislation today, costing about seven billion dollars, for emergency aid to Los Angeles. That's ridiculous!!! No one objects to the Federal Government sending in military personnel to help temporally house and feed those who are now homeless because of the earthquake. We won't ever object to the those military personnel helping temporarily with police duties. Most of us believe FEMA should offer communications services. Also, they should help people obtain their own financing for repair and reconstruction. But, we should not provide Federal funds to rebuild private property! Those people live in California voluntarily.…”
