Urged to liquidate Marcos assets in response to the article Aquino challenges Busi Ness Leaden seek support i feel that the . Government has erred in the Way that it has chosen 10 Nelp the philippine government resolve its financial difficulties. On sell. 18. 1986, 49 percent of the . Leaden that attended the joint session of Congress apparently a fell the tame Way that i feel. They voted against giving -1 the Philippines 1200 million in Cash. Immediately following the fall of the Marcos regime the world reported thai he left the philippine islands with an unimaginable personal Fortune a wealth that he could not possibly have accrued honestly. His holdings include varied properties in the unite states As Well As other parts of the world Money stashed in numerous Banks. Washington should liquidate All of Marcos assets and give the Philippines s2 billion or More returning to them their own Money not americans Money. Why does the . Government Harbor such a Crimi Nal this Man has reportedly stolen from his people maimed his people even killed his people 10 that he could areas his Fortune. Yet Pur government protects him from Justice and pays his debts of which 1200 million is just a drop in the bucket Why does Washington approve of this sort of Aida gain and again our government Doe not treat our fellow country men with such concern and care. This United state a families that line i bed. Our Farmers Are i their every Means for people that continue to suffer from government neglect american indians mexican americans Buck americans. Yet if anyone of these american were to steal maim or kill our very own department of Justice would prosecute with Fervour sparing no Effort in bring ing the evil doer injustice 1 think that our government should take All from Marcos and give his so called personal wealth Back to the people that he purposely neglected so that he might accumulate it. Of course it should be lessened by 4200 , since the $200 million is essentially extra let s invest if on some of our families some Farmers Tom indians some mexicans some Black. Any Ameri can will do Earl v. Bonder Torrejon As Spain writer says Dod civilians need pay raise i am writing regarding the headlines in a recent Issue concerning a pay raise for civilians. Last year no pay increases were awarded for department of defense civilian even though the costs of living continued to Rise. Based upon this Factor alone military and civilians need to be considered. Realizing some of the facts Are omitted each time i question some of the judgment an justification that has been presented. First of All the medical care that is extended to civilians is paid for by the civilian to the tune of $55 per visit and s428 a Day As an inpatient. The insurance coverage we have requires out of pocket funds if a local Hospital or physician is used. Then after extensive letters and other correspondence Are processed the funds returned Are Les than adequate. The local care leaves a lot to be desired. Secondly Mac transportation cannot be utilized for non official business for civilians and dependents. Hispanic comments during hispanic heritage week the stars and stripes published an article on student travel. Basically tide no travel provides payment of travel expenses of dependents military and civilian to and from a school in the United states. This Benefit however is not applied equally to some hispanic. Specifically the definition of the United slates excludes the Commonwealth of puerto Rico. This Means that student travel is not applicable to that location. Additionally other territories and possessions of the United states . Guam. Mariana islands Etc Are also excluded. The theme for hispanic heritage week was his Panks an economic and electoral  i urge readers to exercise the economic and electoral influence on this Issue. A he pants in Vicenz Italy thirdly housing allowance for civilian t bated on several factors but Only up to the amount required and not a specified sum As the military u Given. While the value of the Dollar is going Down with the help of our own government it seems to me that More Money and an increase in Benefit Are due the civil ians since most employment opportunities Are Linan Chauy the same excluding foreign travel. Most of our legislators Are always in favor of a increase for themselves. It u High time for them to realize that others depend on their decisions. More Benefit should be extended if the Power that be find Cash funding too Steep. After All we need to extend funding to less fortunate countries and let our own worry about themselves. Shame on you Congress for not observing the very fact that our military and civilians who support the United states Are Given less than those who Don to let just say i m disappointed. Name and location withheld America at her Best recently i finished Reading the autobiography of retired Brig. Gen. Chuck Yeager. The next Day i read a letter in the Stan and stripes in which the writer1 comment on Jan Fonda s right to express her opinions broadened my comprehension of Whit Gen. Yeager s career was All about whal a Surprise to Lum the Page and read of Gen. Yeager s involvement in a fund raising comp iian to build a living memorial to All veterans near mount Rushmore in South Dakota. Gen. Yeager Active involvement and the letter writer comment blend to emphasize that Thi it America at her Best.  Haracc nay the it blvd 8i4w, mkdi1l_10_h Moo can Nurt 11.
