“for some of us this issue is very, very difficult, when heart, economics, pain are all tied up into one. I understand the version of the gentleman from New York (Mr. McNulty) of this, and I understand the gentleman's, and what I would do is point out a couple things on each side because I still do not know how I am going to vote on this issue. When one lives through Private Ryan, it is very difficult for something like this, and one side we see economics, like the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Manzullo) talked about for his constituents, and on the other side, Mr. Speaker, I went with the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Rogers) to Vietnam. He asked me to go four times, and I said no, it is too hard, and then he said, Well, Pete Peterson asked you to come and help raise the American flag for the first time in 25 years. I saw American children there, Eurasians, that can not be helped by this on one side, but yet I saw very strong Communism.”
