Sen. Richard Burr (R-North Carolina) is the key member who appears to be holding up a move to a conference committee to decide the fate of the Fil Vets of WWII. Burr should be urged to support further negotiations of both S.1315 and the house lump sum proposal . In conference, Sen. Akaka and Sen.Inouye, along with Burr and other key House and Senate members can hammer out the best solution for the vets. For my money, it’s S.1315. But to get anything finalized this Congress, Burr’s help will be needed to force a conference meeting this week.
Fil vets close to equity–but you must urge Sen. Richard Burr (R.-N.Carolina) to take action
