Notice to national press: Make this your top story of the day --- "Several veterans groups, including the Disabled American Veterans, AMVETS, the Paralyzed Veterans of America and Veterans of Foreign Wars have put together their own budget proposal. They figure the Department of Veterans Affairs needs $31.2 billion for medical care. The administration is proposing $27.8 billion - a less than one-half percent increase. Adjusted for inflation, Bush's plan amounts to a cut."
