VIETNAM VETERANS OF AMERICA TWENTY YEARS OF SERVICE

Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President. | rise today to commend the Viet- nam Veterans of America for 20 years of service to veterans and their communities. In particular, | want to recognize the first chapter of the VVA, which was founded in Rutland, Vermont.

If we remember back to the late 1970s, our nation was dealing with the aftermath of a war in which more than 58,000 Ameri- cans lost their lives and 2.8 mil- lion veterans had served. Many of those veterans were struggling with physical, emotional, and so- cial problems directly related to their service in Vietnam.

Those problems were worsened by the attitude of many Ameri- cans who could not separate their opposition to the war from their treatment of our soldiers who had fought it. It was in that spirit that a group of Vietnam veterans from Vermont ap- proached a resourceful young veteran named Bobby Muller. | am proud to say that Bobby Muller has become a close friend

of mine and in fact was in Ver- mont with me just last week. The Vermonters, led by Donny Beaudette and Jake Jacobsen, founded the first chapter of what is now the Vietnam Veterans of America. | remember it well. They were soon joined by other Vermonters like Clark Howland, Mike Dodge, John Bergeron, and others. Together, Chapter One made it their mission to be there for Vermont Vietnam veterans and indeed all veterans.

In the twenty years since then, Chapter One has accomplished that mission, and in the process they have improved the whole Rutland community. They have not only offered assistance to fellow veterans, they have saved the lives of countless troubled veterans who had no where else to turn. Chapter One is responsi- ble for the Dodge Development Center, a veterans center and shelter for homeless veterans which I have been proud to sup- port. Members participate in the annual Rutland Loyalty Day Pa- rade, Memorial Day and Veter-

ans Day and annual POW/MIA Day ceremonies. Chapter One has also initiated an “Honor the Vet Program' with area _busi- nesses. Under this program, local businesses agree to provide a discount to any veteran with a veteran organization member- ship card.

In short, Mr. President, VVA Chapter One honors Vermont,

just as its veterans honored us

with their service in Vietnam. There are now four chapters car- rying on the VVA tradition in Vermont. Besides Chapter One in Rutland, there is now chapter Chapter 601 in Bennington, Chapter 723 in Chester and Chapter 753 in St. Albans.

I thank them for all they have done and | wish them the best on this landmark occasion.

Subject: Suspended Chapter

Date:

August 28, 1998

In accordance with Article IV, Section 1, paragraph A, of the VVA Constitution the following chapter have been suspended for failure to file an Annual Financial Report FYE 1998 (03-01-97 to 2-28-98). If you have any questions give me a call.

During the period of suspension your chapters may:

continue to receive unsolicited tax deductible contributions, but not to engage in fund- raising activities whatsoever, regardless of contractual arrangements, to include telemarketing approved by the national organization;

be able to conduct business only for the purpose of, (1) calling meetings designed to correct the deficiency which caused your chapter to be suspended, and (2) to disburse funds previously raised in VVA's name to pay your chapter's obligations;

however, your chapter is not allowed to receive revenues generated by VVA, Inc., including member dues rebates sent to the national office, and receive disbursements from the Household Goods Solicitation Program, the VVA Credit Card Program, the State Council Newspaper Program, or other programs which may be added.
