U.S. Veterans facs unsure future „ Tim Sullivan photo Faf her, Mike Pastuf, appeared to be having a good time during the Light up Pulaski festivities while two-year-ofd son Daniel was a bit distracted. . At a time when an estimated 200,000 of our young servicemen and women are standing ready in the Middle East, possibly sacrificing life or limb, veterans face an unsure fu- ture as Congress continues to cut veteran's programs. A recent release from the New York State Division of Veteran Af- fairs outlined a number of problems faced in the wake of the budget crunch, but more importantly noted Iheftck of priority for our country's veteran's. \Wc'rcdisgustcdandoutragedby the treatment that disabled American veteran's have received from Con- gress this year. While our elected representatives have been able to find the money and lime to pass out their traditional pork-barrel projects, bail out savings and loan institutions and raise their own salaries, they haven't been able to adequately take care of veterans who become disabled through their service to this country,\ said Joseph Andry, National Com- mander of the Disabled American Veterans. His angry response followed Capitol Hill's rejection of a 5.4 per- cent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for service connected vet- eran*sand survivors of veterans who die from service connected causes. Andry noted that other federal bene- ficiaries, including Social Security recipients, federal employees and retired military personnel received^ cost-of-living increase, while dis- abled veterans did not. J !.. Theloss of this year's COLA will be hardhitting, particularly ara time when veterans programs under the Department of Veteran Affeirs are bcingcutby $3.7 billion over the next five years, affecting especially the elderly or those on fixed incomes. The rejection of COLA for veter- ans was lagged as inconceivable and prompted Andry to raise this ques- tion: \How will Congress explain to thesurvi vors of those service pcrsori*- nel who have already lost their lives in the Persian G ulf that their sacrifice has been forgotten?\ Adding to the list of Cpngres- sional \sins\ in this scenario, Andry noted some of the items Congress did pass: *gave its members a 25 percent pay raise that will increase their pav from $98,000 to $125,000 a year; ' •provided $10 billion more for the Savings and Loan scandal; •boosted NASA's funding by almost 14 percent; and •provided a $500,000 grant to the town of Sirasburg, North Dakota to build amuseum honoringband leader LawerenceWclk. i\r T EAGLE RIVER AND THE 1-500 DIDNT CONVINCE YOUDBUY AN EXT,HOW ABOUF200?* *Buy your '91 EXT' before December 15,1990 arid you'll get $200 in Cat Cash* absolutely free.
