THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
4 October 1995
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
CC:
LEON PANETTA
DON BAER
FROM:
HAROLD ICKES
JENNIFER O'CONNOR
SUBJECT:
SECRETARY JESSE BROWN REQUEST
During the course of a meeting yesterday with Secretary Jesse Brown, he asked that I discuss
with you the importance of adding veterans issues to your message on a regular basis,
especially in the context of discussions of Republican budget cuts. He cited as an example
the opportunity for you to mention, when in California, that you don't appreciate the
Republicans rejecting your proposal to build a new Veterans Affairs hospital there. Or, as an
alternate example, he stressed the importance of having a strong veto message should you
veto the VA/HUD appropriations bill; he urges that the veto message include a discussion of
veterans and the pain the bill would cause them.
