Scotti jr., com Mander of the army s 7th medical Cpd is reported to suggest that no military people should staff the military abortion clinics since activities like deployments sergeant s time or temporary duties would interrupt availability of quote him saying this is the Ideal health care system to be civilian Zed. Youdon t take it to the Field and you Donu mobilize it i am Only assigned to temporary duty in Europe but when i was previously As signed to a 7th army unit it was under stood that we were soldiers first and specialists second. This was for Good reason. Only a Soldier can relate to and support other soldiers with the Best intentions and strongest feelings of loyalty and de Votion. I could always Trust my fellow sol Diers to do their Best in All circumstance because i knew they were members of the same Ideal is not to Civili Anize the health care system. Civilians Are professional and competent in every Way but they will never be members of the Sam team. They do not endure the same hard ships sacrifices and demands required of soldiers. I m sorry. It May be fashionable or politically Correct to distance ourselves from the uniform but As for me and my House we will continue to serve with Pride and Honor for our fellow me an army corpsman Over a civil Ian any . Fred Brown a Woodbridge a. Buckley for Limbaugh Here s a suggestion that could help solve the continuing Issue regarding an s reluctance to air Rush Lim Baugh s to program since an has justified its decision on the basis of balance opinion or the Lack thereof offer Wil Liam f. Buckley s show firing line As Compromise. Or. Buckley has made a Point of inviting guests with Liberal views to appear on his show. They Are Given every Opportunity to present their Opin ions to the viewing audience and i doubt there is a More cordial Host anywhere in line would create a win we we scenario for an Rush Limbaugh fan Sand american liberals living in Europe. An would win because it gets the bal Ance it craves conservatives would be seeing the american conservative icon of the 20th Century and liberals would be spared Rush Limbaugh s rhetoric that so hateful to really should not be much anguish in this Compromise. Phil Donahue and Oprah Winfrey Are overwhelmingly Liberal yet observe the protocol of at least having representatives of different opinions on their shows before ridiculing those persons opinions. Or. Buckley observes the same protocol but with a twist instead of relying on catcalls fro the studio audience to reinforce whatever Point he is trying to make he uses his flair for language. If an declines this suggestion maybe that will be the reason it cites. After All it is less painful for liberals to be shouted Down than to have their position coldly dissected and rendered untenable by s logic. Stephen d. Grantha Augsburg Germany where was Justice i am so angry. In Michigan the de doer family had to return their adopted child Jessica of two years to her biological parents. Where was Justice in this Case Jessica was ripped away from the Only parents she s Ever known to live with Vir Tual strangers. Whose welfare did they focus on when deciding this Case it seems it was the biological parents who gave her up willingly Asah infant. Who should they be concerned about Jessica who seems Mohave no rights in this Case. It does t take a rocket scientist to know that this move will be damaging to her. And How about the deboers my husband and i also lost a child suddenly and the pain is excruciating. I would t wish it on anyone in the de Boer s Case it was totally unnecessary and Tonsing Stuttgart Germany " Egypt being sighted those of us in Egypt including the Sinai make up a significant part of the foreign activity in this particular hemisphere. It s apparent that events taking place Here have no priority in your Arti cles. Just fast week Egypt experience three More earthquakes yet it was not mentioned in the stars and , the cancellation of a retail Sale in Aviano Italy manages to get published. The weather Section also fails to Cate to Egypt or the Sinai. Granted there in t much variation in the climate Here inthe desert but still acknowledgement would be Nice i fail to understand who Egypt and the Sinai Are being neglected in news cover age of your paper. There Are representatives Here from All sections of the Mili tary army Navy marines and air Force. Also there Are multinational forces in the Sinai at this time. We Are playing a part in the activities of this area and deserve some recognition or at least some news coverage when an event of some significance sgt. Curtis g.

Commentary burking7 faces backers of Clinton budget the margin was close but the mandate was Clear president Clinton said after the House of representative passed his budget plan. I have always attributed that quote to Robert . I thought he said it after John f. Kennedy s Squeaker Winover Richard Nixon in the 1960 presiden tial election. Kennedy Defeated Nixon by Only 0.17 percent in the popular vote count and that gives him credit for som popular votes that went for electors who did not vote for him. But i can t find that quote. I did Fin this in the Book Kennedy that Theodore Sorenson later wrote about his Boss every election has a Winner and loser he said in effect. The margin is Nar Row but the responsibility is Clear. There May be difficulties with the Congress but a margin of Only one vote would still be actually it s not. I think the main Rea son Democrat Kennedy had so much trouble getting his programs through Congress a generation ago is the same one that s causing Dill Clinton s trouble today. No mandate. So How come the House passed his budget it did t. What it passed is no More Bill Clinton s original version than the Pentagon s new policy on Gays in the military is Clinton s original version. Speaking of borrowed quotes i like what the representative with the longest name said after she voted for the that the vote which she had vowed not to cast until a few minutes be fore she did would be unpopular in her District first term rep. Marjorie Margo lies Mezvinsky of Pennsylvania said i was t sent Here to be popular. I was sen there to Lead Well see i that recalls the famous quote of the famous 18th-Century British statesman Edmund Burke. Just after he was elected to parliament in 1774, he told his constituents your representative owes you his judgment and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your at the next election he found he Wasso unpopular in his District that he chose not to run again. Public opinion was about As closely split As the House vote at the moment of truth. A lbs poll of people who had watched Clinton s televised Appeal for the plan favored its passage by 40 percent to 35 percent. That was a Blip. They opposed it 44-39 before the speech. I think opinion will Blip Down can that be Good usage in the next year. I think a lot of representatives who voted for the Bill Are going to be buried next year.
