Excerpt from Department of Defense Authorization for Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2002, Vol. 1: Hearings Before the Committee on Armed Services, United States Senate, One Hundred Seventh Congress, First Session; Unified Commands, Military Posture/Budget Amendment, Service Secretaries/Service Chiefs. Ballistic Missile Defense Many Of these are three - story walkup apartments. We have young mothers that have two or three young children. For her to wash the clothes she has to go down three or four flights of stairs to the basement. What does she do with the young children while She is doing that? She has to carry them along with the laundry downstairs to do that. I do not believe that is asking too much for these standards, and I must tell you, Mr. Chairman, even with these very modest stand ards, 69 percent of our Army families in Europe are living in condi tions that do not meet those standards of a washer and a dryer, a stove and a refrigerator, and two bathrooms. Mr. Chairman, when I worked this with the Pentagon, I briefed the Joint Chiefs, I briefed the Defense Resources Board, I talked to the Secretary Of Defense, and I believe that I have a sympathetic ear. I do not know what will be in the budget when it comes over. I have not seen that, but if it comes over the way that I hope that it does, I would encourage the support of the committee. Mr. Chairman, thank you for the Opportunity to appear before you today. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
